I have several T215-1 cards, they were printed on the same cardboard stock as T206 cards are.

Regarding the thinner cardboard stock which the 1910 COUPON (T213-1) cards are printed on, my understanding is that
these cards were never meant to serve as Cigarette pack stiffiners. A Cigarette pack for these cards has not been found.
1910 COUPON cards were either placed inside rectangular cartons containing a 100 Cigarettes, or pasted on the outside
of these cartons.

Over the years, I have closely examined several Ty Cobb / Ty Cobb cards; and, some have a faint glossy coating....while most of them do not.
