[Sterling Sports Auctions]

Was there more than one kind of paper stock used for T206s?

I have never heard of any on thin paper stock. The T213-1s are on thin stock but they aren't T206, as some incorrectly label them.

All the ATC sets seem to use a unified stock.

Moreso American Litho.

T212s have slightly different stock. The lacquer on the front doesn't crack as easily, it more readily wrinkles. If I knew where T207s and T210s were printed, I'd say something about the alligator-ing on the front.

I’ll change it to “the majority of ATC sets, supposed to or actually printed by American Lithography and Brett Lithography” if you prefer. Though no ATC set I can think of really has a stock variant. T212’s are all on the same stock. T210’s are all on the same stock. It’s not like Topps where they switched stock types mid print run with frequency. ATC sets were done on one single stock type.

No need to make me happy, but I'm cool with looking at all the old boxing stuff, though. Keep 'em coming. (And my experience on the lack of within-set variation matches yours.)

I gotta ask...why do you ask? If you found something unusual, would you care to share any details?

+1 .... especially an auction house asking this!

I have owned a few one-off "thin" paper cards from other series, but have never heard about one for T206.

One I used to own...

Are the HR Kisses generally the same stock as Zee-Nuts and/or anything else that Collins McCarthy distributed?

I ask because in my experiences I have found that there seems to be T206s that have firmer paper stock and some that seem to have a bit smoother finish than other that have been fine.
