Pretty sure this has been alluded to, but here are my two cents as a newbie on these boards. The t206 set is the most popular pre-war set there is, it's fun to collect and I am absolutely floored at the ages of some people collecting it now. Even my kids are into it. I got into t206s when I was 11 or 12 in the 80s. I know all of this is anecdotal. However, given that, with only 200-250 copies there will ALWAYS be more demand than supply for this card given that it's universally understood this card constitutes one of the 524.
As for auctions and timing, I would love to see some data on auctions ending in January after many professionals receive bonuses and are flush with cash. I personally begin pulling back on spending around August.
