Brian,

Yes - that is the original AB pack that would have contained the cards although the handful of known AB packs all pre-date the series by a few years. That being said, once these AB packs were discovered a few years back, it did blow the theory that AB's are skinnier left to right because of pack design right out of the water. AB packs are the same size as any other T206 era slide and shell pack (ie: SC, Piedmont, Broadleaf, Cycle, Sovereign, etc).
