Burdick wasn't particularly enamored of back variations (nor was anyone else at a time when cards sold for a nickel each). He tends to designate cards as part of sets based on fronts with different backs given short shrift. The later sets cited as using T206 fronts have different ink and/or some different teams designated and/or different finishes. I can see why a front-centric cataloguer would treat the T206 brands as one. I do the same with T218-T219-T220-T225 boxing, following Burdick's lead, even though there are similar rarity issues with respect to some of the back variations there.
