My vote is not a T206 based on the different card stock. Maybe we should have a poll: T213 type-1 should or shouldn't be in the T206 set?
Same with the T215 type-1.

If that is the only reason you have, then please consider this:
American Litho. printed these cards in the Spring/Summer of 1910 on thinner stock because they were not intended to serve as "stiffeners" in cigarette
packs (as the other T206's did). NO standard cigarette pack labelled
"COUPON" Cigarettes has been found. I don't expect that one will ever be found.
1910 COUPON cigarettes were marketed in cartons (11" x 3" x 2") labelled
"COUPON" Cigarettes that contained 100's of this new brand of cigarettes.
The 1910 COUPON cards were included with (or inside) the carton. A few of these cartons have been found....I have seen one of them.
P.S.
A poll would be meaningless, since there would be many uninformed in this subject voting in it.
