These colorful T209-1 cards remind me of T206's. Needless to say, they are quite rare. And this is probably why I enjoy the challenge in finding them.
Also, I prefer the blue lettering in their captions. The blue ink is more distinct than the brown captions on the T206's.
And I have to thank Leon for providing me four of these T209 cards approx. 10 years ago....which completed my set.
Some catalogues date them as a 1910 issue. However, research indicates these cards may have been issued in late 1909. Net54 members, Mike Peich
and Tim Newcomb have done some outstanding research on this set, and you can read all about it in....
