Were T215 Pirates distributed?

Wills also made a number of high quality litho boxing sets in the era that were in packs in the UK so they were capable of churning out the cards themselves.

Lew Lipsett's book mentions that all of the known Pirate baseball cards have the green back. I noticed that all of the Pirate bb cards in thread have green backs and a closed cigarette pack.

Has anyone seen a Pirate baseball card with a back color other than green, or a back style other than the closed pack?

Notice the "magnums" back. It is noticeably larger than the other backs.

An interesting feature of the Pirate Non-baseball cards is that some of them have gold leaf on the front of the card, similar to the T205's. The cards I have pictured were purchased from a seller in China.

Have only ever seen one type of Pirate baseball card back.

I haven't seen anything but the green back, nor have I ever heard any reference to anything other than that one back.
