Appease me, please....one more time T206/T213/T215?

Jon, thicker paper, the thickness of T206's would pose a problem for the cigarette packages of Coupon Cigarettes, and would pose another factor for including the cards in with the T206 grouping.

It seems to me that the "Coupon" division of the ATT decided they wanted cards too, like their full priced cousins (Piedmont, Sovereign, et al) so they eventually got cards too, although thinner, and without a series designation... maybe because they weren't part of the 150 - 350 - 460 series of the other brands.

Brands with a series designation:

American Beauty
Broad Leaf
Cycle
Drum
Piedmont
Sovereign
Sweet Caporal


Brands with no series designation:

Carolina Brights
El Principe de Gales
Hindu
Lenox
Old Mill
Polar Bear
Tolstoi
Uzit


Maybe those 7 with the series designation should be one thing, and the 8 with no designation should be something else.


Thanks, Ted, for digging up that old thread, and providing the link. It doesn't surprise me that the 17 to 5 is skewed towards adding T213's and/or T215's to the T206 grouping. Almost all vintage collectors either start with T206's, or gravitate to them. So those cards are somewhat of a first love. And collectors will like the idea of adding to them. Just like that crazy, glossy front, red portrait Ty Cobb card.
