"What if..Burdick had classified T206's with respect to their individual 15 T-brands ?"
I don't think he could have been faulted. Take Polar Bear for example, the Polar Bear series include two unique subjects--O'Hara and Demmitt St. Louis and was distributed in pouches.
American Beauty has its own unique size.
Piedmont and Sweet Caporal lay claim to unique subjects as well--Wagner and Plank.
Each brand has its own series inclusions/exclusions and its own back color and design, distribution "networks" differ, regional issuance, etc.
Ted's ABCD theory separates brands by series distribution and design. Also, his Piedmont Primacy theory separates this issue from the others.
The brands can be separated from those that list the series (Piedmont, Sweet Caporal, etc) and those that don't (Polar Bear, Uzit, Coupon, etc...-the assorted backs).
Maybe....
