Frank,
A Fatima card would not meet any of the criteria I mentioned for a T206. They were manufactured by a different company (Liggett & Myers, post-breakup), released in a different timeframe (1914), feature entirely different artwork and design (glossy photo fronts and completely different back designs) and were produced differently (not lithographs, significantly different size). Coupon Type 1's, however, meet all of the criteria I mentioned for a T206. I am not in any way advocating including sets that do not meet these criteria, only those that do.
My point is that there are several accepted T206 brands (EPDG, Polar Bear, AB) that feature different unique characteristics not found on any other brand. Yet all of these brands still meet the criteria I suggested, as do Coupon Type 1's.
