Not too surprising that the T-brand packs and T206 backs track together.

Thanks very much Jon,

Jon, ole friend,
i'm sitting here admiring my T206 packs: AB,Tolstoi,OM, PB,EPDG,SC, Pied,
and even a drum pouch---but no EASIER Sovereign.
are you sure the old sovereign(with a T206 era date) is EASIER?
I'm sure lovin' the unopened Polar Bear--thanks again.

great thread, as always Ted et al
best,
barry

Very interesting T206 T-brand pack collection. Next to Jon's collection, your's is quite impressive.

I, too, would like to have a SOVEREIGN pack to complement my all-SOVEREIGN T206 set.

Barry - I'm sure... sometimes it is just luck of the draw as to what is available for sale. I actually know of a gentleman who has three cases of 1910 era Sovereign cigarette packs (unfortunately wrong factory/district # for cards). I have probably seen 100 or more sovereign packs over time. In that same time frame, I have seen maybe 15-20 ABs, 15-20 OMs, etc.

Ted,
many thanks for the kind words!! I'll keep my eyes open for a sovereign for
each of us!

Jon,
many thanks for the help. i knew EASIER was the correct word since it came
from you--i just wish it would hurry and apply to my situation!!!

all the best, ole friends

Hi Barry and Ted,

Here's a Sovereign full pack with 1910 stamp and 10 cigs. It is Factory 30, though. I might trade if you have something unusual to offer. I've also added a scan of a display carton from my collection.

great pieces.
Ted, i'll give you first dibs (is that still a word?!).
I don't really have anything unusual to part with (i never have dupes) and i'm betting you do.

all the best,
barry

Thanks, but I'll pass on these....since I'm looking for a Factory #25 Sovereign pack.

So, it's your choice, Barry.

Thanks again guys,

TED Z
