David & Leon are both correct, the 1909 tax stamp was used until 1917, so it's almost impossible to date a pack without a production stamp from the factory. These production overstamps do exist, but are fairly rare. I also emailed the seller and found out that the pack was produced in Factory 593 District of Maryland, which means no T206 is inside. I have seen alot of Sweet Cap packs produced in Maryland on Ebay, most are from a full case of 1922 packs which was found a few years ago, but there was also a small find of 1909-1917 Maryland packs which were uncovered in the early 90's. I can't believe GAI is now grading Tobacco packs, I guess it's alright as long as they don't tie it to the T206's. be well brian
