Im no expert on unopened cigarette packages, but I always thought that 1909-11 era T206 cards (along with other nonsport cards/pins/etc.) came in a Piedmont box, similar to a matchbox. and the T206 era Boxes Ive seen were a different size than the graded pack in this auction. I have owned an opened 1909 Obak box (complete with T212-1 card and cigarettes) and it was also like a matchbox in design (center slides out from outside). My guess is that the Piedmont pack in auction is from a later date than the 1909-11 T206 era. Frank
