As we know Coupon Cigarettes were made mostly at Factory 3 in LA. and a few type 3's from Factory 8, in LA. Burdick describes them as the following, in the venerable ACC:

"T213- Baseball Series, Coupon cigs, designs of No. T206..... .25cents
2 types, name in brown as No.T206, or name in blue. On card or heavy paper. Issued 1914-1915 and includes Federal League. Many team changes. Name in blue value .... .35 cents"


I suspect he saw enough difference to keep them out of T206. Maybe the blue caption of the type 2's did it for him? I am not sure he even knew about type threes as his date would have been later, though, back then I am not sure if the year was the most important thing and he might have lumped type 1 in with type 3, both having brown captions. I guess my simple answer would have been "not sure". I might chime in again as I think about it some more....
