T205s are extremely condition sensitive on the borders and corners, because the gold is subject to flaking. Thus, from a condition-sensitivity standpoint, the one on the right is EXTREMELY scarce.
That people will spend a premium for sharp condition-sensitive cards is hardly groundbreaking news. Heck, I knew kids who colored in the black borders of their 1986 Topps cards in 1987.
