Actually, the more I continue to ponder whether the T-206 distribution may have outlasted 1909-1911, the more I begin to feel that is not the case. Again, as the experts here have pointed out for years now, the ATC was so careful to get everything correct - team changes, misspellings, etc. Would a company that cared so much to make these changes continue to issue cards years after the distribution run should have ended? I can understand not correcting team changes after the distribution ended since that would essentially be continuing production and the theory is that back stock was being distributed to get rid of it. However, I would think a company that took so much care to keep the set current would just destroy remaining stock before distributing "old and outdated" cards. Just some more food for thought.
