Unless the entire classification standard is changed something like M101's with different advertising backs having different catalog subset numbers, I have to be in with Ted here. I also don't see the former ever happening as it would be chaos with grading and people would grumble up a storm.

If the Cobb was added to the T206 set and you had a master set of all of the currently confirmed t206 combinations in front of you with all the necessary information and you were asked to separate them each time by the following
Brand - you would have 1 Cobb back and the next smallest stack would be 60 (Uzit)
Factory number - 1 Cobb (factory 33) and the next smallest stack would be 200 (factory 649)
What company the brand was Owned by in 1910 - American Tobacco Co. = 5281 T206's F. R. Penn = 1 T206 (Ty Cobb tobacco)
