Topps has bought the Bowman name and then used many vintage ideas which I would assume have been either bought or trademarked again such as t206 and turkey red. Panini has done the same with Donruss and Playoff who owned the Pacific brand. Upper Deck has owned Fleer for quite a while.

T206 refers to the set name that was used in the American Card Catalog. The original company never referred to the cards that way. I don't think the cards ever had an actual name, other than the tobacco brands on the backs. I suppose if you wanted to be historically precise, you would revive The American Tobacco Company or The American Lithographic Company. Both trademarks are dead. |

I buy reprints to go with photos used for cards. I wouldn't buy a counterfeit, even if cheaper, because intent matters. Happily reprints are cheap.

As to t206, I understand the history quite clearly but as Topps issued several sets and inserts using the t206 name as the title during the last 10-12 years I am assuming they at least tried to lock it down to avoid competition.
