How would you do the factory backs like
Factory 6, 17,25,30,33,42,and 649 would these be variations or something else
some have 2 factories listed on the back usually the Sweet Caporal that has 30 and 649

They are not variations, they are separate sets that share artwork. They were not in the same packs, ever. Each back was only packed in one cigarette brand, although it is possible that there are variations among individual sets.
To be truly listed properly they would be under an American Tobacco Company listing with no base set, and the 16 different backs each listed as a related set. (Not insert or parallel, but related set is not an option to choose)
I'm aware that this will not be done, but I hope only to keep the actual facts present somewhere, considering how much of tobacco card era history has been rewritten in retrospect to match the catalog.
