It's certainly a possibility that cards could have been packaged with 15 count packs - however I am doubtful.
Other brands also produced 15 count packs (Broadleaf (I own one dated 1910), Piedmont, Sovereign, SC) and some also produced 8 count packs (Sovereign (I own one dated 1909)). If one brand produced cards for distribution in 15 count packs, why not others? In other words, why haven't we found thinner SC, Broadleaf, etc. cards. American Beauty was far from the ATC's most popular brand. I'm just not sure i can buy into the notion that this brand alone would have had distribution with other count sizes other than a 10-pack.
