T215-1's are NOT T206's due to the updated teams and their years of distribution (neither are the Pirate backs), as for the T213-1's I agree 100% with Barry when he stated the following...

Had any of the other T206 manufacturers later produced a set similar to the T213-2 or T215-2 or Victory Tobacco they also would have probably been catalogued seperately as T21X-1 as well.
