The estimates that I recall hearing were as follows:
18-20 Old Mill Brown 24 Cobb backs 25-30 Lenox Brown Old Mill is the most rare, but as the OP pointed out, they are scrap and were not distributed in packs. We don't know how Cobb backs were distributed. They may have been handed out as promotional items. It seems that they were not packed into Cobb tins, because they were produced in 1910. The tax stamp on Cobb tins indicated a date of 1912 as I recall, so the dates don't line up. I think that it was assumed that they were packed in the tins because some cards and a tin were found together in an old collection. So the Lenox Brown might be the most rare T206 distributed in packs of cigarettes. But the Lenox Brown is almost certainly a mistake, making the Broadleaf 460 the rarest T206 back that was intentionally produced and distributed. For whatever that's worth. ![]() |
