You asked......
" is there any evidence that t206s were issued by team regionally,ie. cases of cigs sent to chicago
had mostly chicago players inserted into packs? "

No....every large T206 find that I have acquired has a variety of the Subjects of the T206 set. Here
are several examples......

1....400+ different T206's from South Carolina

2....355 different T206's from Erie, Pennsylvania

3....262 different T206's from upstate New York

4....228 different T206's from Connecticut

Picture this, these cards were printed in NYC, shipped to the various Tobacco Co.....where they were
inserted in the packs. Another department was then responsible for shipping them out all over the USA.
We are talking about millions of cigarette packs....I don't think that anyone selectively shipped them.
