The T216 group has 5 different back variations (3 are thick stock, 2 are thin stock).

The T216-1 Kotton backs with "Kotton Tobacco ..." and "Kotton Cigarettes Never Go Out Extra Mild..." are both thick stock with glossy surface. The "Kotton Cigarettes Never Go Out Made By..." back is thin stock nonglossy. All T216-2 Minos are thick stock (glossy), and all T216-3 Virgina Extra backs are thin paper (nonglossy).


The cards I have or have recently owned are:

Chief Bender (white cap) T216-1-2(type 2 back) "Kotton Cigarettes Never Go Out Extra Mild..." (thick)
Rube Marquard T216-1-2(type 2 back) "Kotton Cigarettes Never Go Out Extra Mild..." (thick)
Christy Mathewson T216-1-3(type 3 back) "Kotton Cigarettes Never Go Out Made By..." (thin)
Joe Tinker T216-2 "Mino" (thick)
