T206 "minor" variations

Which of the lesser variation type cards should really be considered the best and worst to have?

My thoughts are maybe either Dahlen (Brooklyn) or the Lundgren (Chicago) are the harder ones to come by? Especially in upper grades?

I also think maybe the Kleinow (Boston) is a bit over hyped?

Curious to hear thoughts...

My experience has been the Dahlen is harder to come by.

There's also the Evers "variation."

what Evers variation? he has several poses, his "Cubs" card is part of the 150 only series, thus tuffer, BUT not a "variation"... the ones mentioned above are legitimate team change variaitons...

The initial question posed was not specific to "team change" variations, though perhaps it was suggested. True, the Evers is not a team change variation, but it is commonly referred to as a "variation" of some type.

Here's the order of scarcity I see the these FIVE subjects....and, their "scarcity factor" is really a function
of how few T-brands each card was printed on.

1st & 2nd.....O'Hara and Demmitt (St Louis variations).....exists with just POLAR BEAR




3rd & 4th.....Elberfeld (port-Washington) and Lundgren (Cubs).....exists with only with 3 diff. backs.





5th.....Dahlen (Brooklyn).....exists with only 5 diff. backs





And, I don't agree with the consensus that are saying Kleinow (Boston) or F. Smith (Chi & Bost) are "tough".
Shown here is Smith with 8 of the 12 diff. backs that he appears on....I'm still looking for the remaining 4 to
complete my run on this Smith card.

And, Kleinow (Boston) appears with the same 12 diff. backs......So, how "tough" can these two cards be ?
My experience is that these two subjects, while tough, are not in the same class as the above 5 cards.
