Even if we could say with 100% certainty that the back scarcity list posted was definitive the market place would not mirror it exactly most of the time and for this reason we always say that others collecting experience and perception could and probably will be different. The scarcity level of similar backs are so close that at any given time one could be perceived as more difficult than another.

There are gaps in the rankings as you mentioned and some larger than others. I wrote in another post we feel 12-17 on our list are all extremely close in scarcity and a case could be made for several different ways of ranking them. Some people feel with the large Drum find that Uzit is now more difficult but we don't see it that way.

Gathering statistical information including pop reports, market studies, board surveys etc. are great tools and I do it all the time, but all of those are flawed in one way or another and that has to be kept in mind when analyzing the data.

Some topics regarding T206's are always going to be subjective and the scarcity of one back versus another is one. It's an incredibly complex set and great fun to discuss.
