It's such a nice looking set that I'm surprised we don't hear more about it, but I can think of a few reasons.
cost probably keeps some set collectors away
availability, unless you buy a large group, it is definitely a long term goal
combining those two reasons, if only a couple more people went heavy into the set, that would be all you need to drive up prices. I'm sure that has happened in the past to some people just starting out, saying they won't pay $100+ for a low-grade common from a set that big, only to see prices keep going up
players selection. They didn't pick the best group
all portraits could be a turn off to some people, not much variety
I personally have six T204 cards and honestly can't remember the last time I bought one, but I'm willing to bet it was at least 7-8 years ago. Not that I wouldn't buy more, the prices were just going too high when I stopped
