Default The first "unoffical" basketball card

Posted By: Pat Vesper

I was mistaken...please read below.

In terms of T51 cards, there are 4 schools - Williams, Xavier, Northwestern, and Luther. Williams and Northwest have a 1st and 2nd series card, so there are 6 cards including these variations.

The T6 card (larger cards) come with two variations of the Williams card.

Also, I'd like to correct myself.

I have an old Murad coupon from 1910 that states, "On receipt of 15 of these coupons, one of which is packed in each box of "Murad" Cigarettes we will mail you, postpaid a handsome lithographed picture of one of our prominent College Series, cabinet sized (5x8 inches), whose names appear on the reverse side of this coupon.

Down below it mentions that the offer expires June 30, 1911.

That said, the smaller T51 cards did come first - followed by the larger T6 cards.

I never read that coupon until tonight.

Regards, Pat
