Default Time to reclassify the 1910 COUPON set as a T206 sub-set

To refresh your thinking, here is the link to my thread on this subject......http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...ht=1910+coupon

It's time to reclassify this set of 68 cards and identify them as the the 16th T-brand of the T206 set. The front images of these cards
are derived from the T206 series of "350 Subjects". The back design is consistent with the four other T206 brands printed and issued
during the Summer/Fall of 1910. Therefore, they are a bona fide white-bordered set under the T206 rubric. The only argument against
this, is that they were printed on very slightly thinner cardboard stock than T206's. In my opinion this is a weak argument that smells
like a "Louisiana red-herring".

At the risk of being a broken record on this subject, I will leave you with this illustration, since a picture is worth a 1000 words........
