The Lenox page says they "discontinued packing military pictures 10/14/10
and began packing baseball pictures Oct.15/10 1 to each box of 10"

Hey Pat

For starters, check-out this Net54 post from Mar 2009. There are more confirmations (throughout Net54) regarding T80's paired with T206's during the timeline of Jan-Feb 1911.
One of these other ATC ledgers instruct Factory #30 to pair T80's and T206's in LENOX cigarette packs. I don't have the time, currently, to search into this stuff.

You are good at researching, why don't you find them and post them if you will, so we will see which of us is correct on this matter ?

Interesting that the letters mention simultaneous insertion of both a baseball and military picture in each package of cigarettes (until the baseball series ran out I assume). Any idea what the final price was for these pieces? - I couldn't find anything through the Mastro back door.

PS - apologies for using an antiquated scanner...
