My understanding is that all the T206 cards were printed in NYC and then sent to the various Tobacco Co.
to be inserted in their respective cigarette packs as premiums.

Yes, Factory #25 out of Virginia (Am Tob. Co.) distributed to a wider area in the Southeast. I have heard
of Piedmont collections originating from the Carolina's and Georgia, circa 1909-1910.

Factory #42 (NC), which was the Liggett & Meyers Tob. Co., also distributed their packs (with BB cards)
throughout the Southeast, circa 1911.

For more detailed information on this, you have to read Scot Reader's excellent book "Inside T206".
It's available online.
