The 16 cigeratte brands that advertise on the back of the T206 cards are; Ty Cobb, Drum, Uzit, Lenox, Broadleaf, Cycle, Hindu, Carolina Brights, El Princepe De Gales, Sovereign, Tolstoi, American Beauty, Old Mill, Polar Bear, Peidmont and Sweet Corporal. Ty Cobb is the rarest, Drum City is next in line for scarcity followed by Uzit and Lenox. Sweet Corporal and Peidmont are the most common backs of T206. There is some debate about whether the Ty Cobb back, which has only been found with Ty Cobb on the front, actually was printed with the T206 cards and belongs in the T206 set.
