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.

I find that there are differences in every set ever made. Some of it is how the cards were produced, and some of it is how the cards were kept over the years/decades. It just is what it is. It used to bug me, not anymore. I just accept it.

There is a colossal difference between the former, how the cards were produced and if they were made on multiple stocks creating actual variations, and the latter, how they were stored and wear/aging/toning that is damage and not a variation.

There are absolutely not legitimate differences in “every set ever made”.
