Here is one of my AB's (non framed back) - I would call this a wide bordered AB as my other one (with framed back) is much narrower. Really looks "normal" like other T206's

Martin,
That is a great card. It looks to me to have been hand cut on the sides. My guess is it never saw the inside of a cigarette pack. JimB |

As for the American Beauty pack "myth", I've owned (and still own) American Beauty cigarette boxes from a few different years, including 1905, 1909 and 1910. I can unequivocally say that all of the boxes I have ever owned were not any narrower than the other brands unsed to distribute T206 cards (i.e., Sweet Caporal, Piedmont, Old Mill, Sovereign, etc).

Nice cards everyone, and thanks Jon, I thought that "myth" was incorrect.

A couple side-by-side for comparison.
Leifield and Miller both look relatively normal, width-wise. ![]() ![]() While these 460 Subjects seem to be of the narrower persuasion ![]() ![]() |
