PaulI believe Tip Tops were regional in the sense that each individual team was distributed only regionally. If you add all the teams together, you get something approximating national distribution.
I'm not sure how relevant the whole concept of regional v. national really is. I know everyone is free to collect what they want. But surely the Reccius Wagner was a regional issue. I find it extremely unlikely that the Just So cards were anything but a regional issue. For that matter, how likely is it that T206s made it west of the Mississippi? In fact, T206 major leaguers might have been distributed only in the Northeast and Midwest. I believe T-213 Coupons were issued regionally in the South, and almost every interesting back from the M101-4/5 series must have been issued regionally on a very limited basis.
