Yes Frank that is what I was saying the most popular wide border one is Hart-Montgomery but yes if you do a side by side comparison you will see what I mean as the 211's are wide bordered as most of the 210 series 8 are but note it is most of just a portrait and the old mill cabinet cards are from series 2 which can be found with wide borders.The Old mill cabinets were given the "H" designation because they were used as advertising in the store.That is why you see most with tack holes and the sun bleached the colors out of the borders.As I have been told by some of the older collectors the cabinet cards were not redeemed with a coupon thus tyhey were intended to be used for displaying purposes of the cigarettes and the card influenced the buyer like getting a toy in a box of cereal.Just my two cents.I don't see the 211 Frank.
