Good, solid points.
The manufacturers of the day were motivated by profit (nothing has changed).
The cards of the day were premiums, not the product(that has changed).
The success of the original T206 "issue" (the 150 series), as evidenced by period periodicals and newspaper articles, prompted increased distribution as a manner of increased revenue. Thus the "pilot" study was a success and ATC followed suit with its top brands.
The manufacturer did not intend on the idea of a "set", thus the collecting community has the task of making this determination.
