Hi Ryan, I think the main argument is the T213-1s and T215-1s were printed on much thinner paper stock than T206s.

(edited ... just T213-1s are thinner stock)

T215-1 Red Cross states "100 Designs" on the back. At the risk of being wrong for the 4th or 5th time this week, I read in the 2010 thread that there are 2 types of TyCobb/TyCobb cards. One type has gloss, and the other type does not.

I have several T215-1 cards, they were printed on the same cardboard stock as T206 cards are.

Regarding the thinner cardboard stock which the 1910 COUPON (T213-1) cards are printed on, my understanding is that
these cards were never meant to serve as Cigarette pack stiffiners. A Cigarette pack for these cards has not been found.
1910 COUPON cards were either placed inside rectangular cartons containing a 100 Cigarettes, or pasted on the outside
of these cartons.

Over the years, I have closely examined several Ty Cobb / Ty Cobb cards; and, some have a faint glossy coating....while most of them do not.
