Default Scot Reader's "Inside T206" ... T205's?

Hello .. I just finished reading Inside T206 Centennial Edition by Scot Reader. Great work! I haven't been able to find a similar in-depth work on the T205 set yet. Does one exist? Beyond Scot's back and variations research what I really enjoyed were the details and stories about the tobacco factories and how the cards were packaged. Fun stuff. So ... Is it safe to assume that much of the info Scot detailed at the beginning of Inside T206 is also true for T205? Specifically the production process (lithographs & layered printing), card brands and factories (I know there were only 11 brands in T205) and packaging (I assume for the most part the packaging was the same for T205 as T206?). Just wondering if there were any glaring differences in the production process and the distribution of these two great tobacco card sets? Feel free to point me to any in-depth research that has been done on T205. And Thank you Scot for sharing your research! It was a fun and informative read!
