T206 got my eye initially, but quickly thereafter I was fascinated with the T205 set. What amazing coloring and just beautiful cards given how old they are. I typically have strict collecting rules: PSA only, 2 or higher (but i make exceptions for 1.5 with good eye appeal). This set was pretty easy to put together, but unlike my T206 red sox set, I didn't go for different backs.
How hard/rare are the different t205 backs? I feel like T206 is well more documented than T205. |

Nice looking team set!
To guide you on the “rarer” backs you might search the forum for the Eggs-ellent thread about collecting T205. There you can see more T205, chart your EGG count and read about the variants and shells . Yup, it’s really called that!

BTW- The Red Sox team has some Eggs-tra credit points since the system weighs rarity and HOFers.
You have a good carton going! Look up the thread if you haven’t seen it…

Nice set now you need to go for a front reverse set. I have the Cubs and reverses of T205. 151 possible cards and missing only the 2 Hindu backs.
