To add something to the Pirate discussion from yesterday that I failed to mention the first time... while I feel confident that T-215 are connected with Pirate softpacks (I should qualify this since I believe there is speculation that Pirate T215s were never inserted into packs), I am unfamiliar with the Chinese cards. I have seen them before, but do not know which year(s) they were produced. If they were produced into the 1920s or later, than they could very well be associated with pirate slide and shell packs, too.
