Weren't AB packs slightly smaller than the "standard" packs of the day (hence the narrow AB cards?) I may have misunderstood your question. By depth, do you mean front to back, or top to bottom?

American Beauty packs
I have an AB pack of 10 cigarettes and it is the same size as other brands. I also have an AB pack of 15 cigarettes, which is thinner and has a 1910 stamp. The 15-count size appeared after July 1910 when the govt increased the tax rate. I have a theory that AB cards were cut thinner to fit in the new packs. Soon after the cards were cut thinner, AB eliminated the frames on the backs. I don't believe anyone has ever opened a 10-count AB pack or a 15-count AB pack and found a T206 inside. So we may never know.

I have a nm-mt pack as well but this is the only one I own that dates to 1910.
