Ted,
As you know I love the T205s...
I am one card away from (well two once I find a decently priced Cairo Monopol card) from a T80 set.
I think that the reason they did not continue with the ornate design was to possibly save money. It might also be because of the printing process. The new T205s included moveable type backs which I am sure was more expensive to produce. A simple border might reduce cost. They did go more ornate in the later minor leaguers though, so who knows.
No pics to post tonight but will try to get some tomorrow.
