I used to love the T205s when I collected them back in the '70s, when you could get high-grade examples for 75 cents or a buck each. The problem I have with them nowadays is that those high-grade examples seem to have totally dried up. And when I say "high-grade", I do mean it. I can't recall any of mine having any wear along the edges at all. I didn't have too many of them, but those I had were just about picture-perfect looking.
It's funny, but those good memories have spoiled me on collecting T205s. To me, any wear along the borders or edges just makes them look like crap, which is why I have no desire to collect them any more.
I don't mean to be negative, or throw a wet blanket over anybody else's party, but, as crazy as it sounds, that's just how it is for me.
