GlenV,

I've never ever seen a plausible explanation as to why Pirate Cigarette cards should be considered T215s. The American Card Catalog certainly doesn't so categorize them, they bear no relationship to T215-2s, which are a later issue with a blue caption, and they bear no more relationship, from what I can tell, to T215-1s than do the brown captioned T213-1 Coupons. Maybe someone once suggested that they share a common checklist, but, get real. No one can come close to suggesting what a complete checklist of Pirate Cigarette cards would be, so few have been found.

At bottom, GlenV, I think a type collection needs a TUnc. Pirate Cigarettes card, along with both T215-1 and T215-2 Red Crosses.
