Thank you!

Yeah it's perplexing, the original owner seemed like an honest guy and most people that knew him or talked to him believed what he said and he said there was no way the card could have been inserted in the pack and re-sealed. If that's true to me it seems highly unlikely that a T206 was inserted in a pack in 1917 or later but the people who are knowledgeable about the cigarette packs claim that's the only other option.

My knowledge about the cigarette regulations is limited could these cigarettes be distributed in other country's with different regulations and would these tax stamps have been put on them? I know ATC had factories in other country's like Canada, Japan and Egypt or could it have been a pack distributed in the Military and had different regulations?
