15-count packs
I believe that American Tobacco Company introduced the 8-count and 15-count packs starting in 1910. It was done because of a tax increase. The price plus tax became a nice round number, apparently. I had read this online in a book someone wrote about ATC a long time ago. It did not mention whether they inserted cards in these packs. I haven't seen any proof that a T206 had ever been found in an 8-pack or 15-pack. But that doesn't mean it's not possible.
