Hey Guys,

I'm buried at work, but when I have a chance I will post percentages for each back as seen in my survey. Assuming a correlation between price and scarcity, one can back-out a rough theoretical backs multiplier from these percentages. Of course, there is NOT a perfect correlation between price and scarcity for several reasons, for example, some backs are more attractive than others, some people care about brands but do not care about factories, etc. Also, there is the emerging issue of "back only" multiplier versus "front/back" multiplier. That is, as the T206 knowledge continues to develop, I expect people will start caring less about the former and more about the latter. Imagine the following conversation in 2017: "Sure you have a Brown Hindu T. Jones (St. Louis), but I have a Piedmont 350 T. Jones (St. Louis), which is five times scarcer as a front/back combination!" Who then, owes whom a premium?
