Hi Leon,
They may not be T206's, but they are certainly in the same family. I can't explain the change in stock other than the new advertising budget for the brand may have taken a hit after the breakup, or the later issues may have suffered from shortages due to WW1. Be well Brian

Here's the info I posted on the other thread:

Hi Dave,
No line drawn.... ATC owned Coupon before the breakup and Ligget& Myers afterward, but the same manager Mr. Irby was still in charge. In fact Mr. Irby was in charge before ATC bought him out, so nothing really changed much in LA. In fact I believe that much of the Tobacco wars in LA after the breakup between ATC and People's Tobacco contributed to the continuation of the cards being released as premiums. The 2 companies fought hard over LA and sued each other a number of times. Thank God, otherwise we might never have seen the t213's or t216's.... Be well Brian


PS Ted, pretty easy to add to your earlier thoughts
