Are the "T213-1" (1910 COUPON) cards really T206's ? ....I think so....What say you ?

Delete, unnecessary.

I'll see your Pirate Merkle and raise you this one.



Wait, that doesn't sound right...

The thing that stands out the most to me is the odd group of subjects used, I think Luke mentioned it earlier. The mix of forty two 350 only subjects
with Twenty Southern Leaguers and the six super prints doesn't fit in with any of the other T206 backs. To me it seems like something that was done after
the plates were used for the T206's. Where does the 1910 date for the T213-1's come from?

Sounds like a separate regional issue.

This might be the bit of information that convinces me to not include them in T206?

I understand both sides of this issue. On Leon's side the Coupons are listed in the ACC as T213 so that's what they are. And T206 is what it is. It's that simple. On the other hand, if the ACC needs to be amended then someone should do it. Until then though, Coupons are going to be T213 because that's what Burdick catalogued them as. If you want to collect them in your T206 set then go ahead. As they say, there's no wrong way to collect right?

We had this argument about five years ago (and every year since), but at that time Tim Cathey made this same point. The subjects chosen for Coupons did not follow the pattern of any other T206 backs.

Hey guys, this has all been cleared up before. I covered this situation in previous threads. So, I will reprise it here once again.

First, with all due respect to Luke (or Pat), they are appear to be uninformed as they are misleading with the above statement.

The Six Super Prints were simply 350 Series subjects when the 1910 COUPON cards were produced. It was not until later in the game that American Lithographic (ALC) selected
these six subjects from an earlier print run to be Super-Prints. And, ALC made this selection when they started printing the SOVEREIGN 460 cards (circa Summer/Fall 1910). Proof
of this is evident in the SOVEREIGN sub-set in that the Six Super Prints are found with both SOVEREIGN 350 and SOVEREIGN 460 backs, as I am illustrating here......

Furthermore, regarding the Southern Association (20) subjects, I refer you to post #24 in this thread.

All of the 350 only subjects are printed with a Forrest Green back and the
super prints are printed with an Apple Green back.

Here are 4 Art Fletchers from this series in varying degrees of condition. The best example is an SGC 30 which is high grade for these. SGC 40 is the highest grade I have of any player, although I have some raw nice ones that could get 40 or 50.

Hi Rob

The Grading Co.'s can be "brutal" grading these 1910 COUPON cards....and, especially PSA.
SGC 40 is the highest grade that I, also, have seen of any of these cards.

I thought I'd get a nice grade on this Chance. It doesn't have any creases (or subtle problems). When I complained to PSA, they remarked: "that's your opinion, we see it differently".

My mistake for submitting it to PSA.

No kidding.....Pat

I think my SOVEREIGN 350 and SOVEREIGN 460 scans of the six super prints in post #68 clearly show the apple green vs. darker green backs, respectively.

Here is an excerpt from my thread of which I identified all 66 subjects that were printed with the "apple green" SOVEREIGN 350 backs. Back in 2007, Art Martineau first noted
that certain SOVEREIGN 350 cards had a lighter shade of GREEN backs than other SOVEREIGN 350 cards. Initially, this phenomena was mystifying to all of us. By Nov 2007, I
had completed my all-SOVEREIGN set, and this enabled me to identify the 66 cards with the apple green backs..

For more info on this topic, check-out this thread posted in 2009....Sovereign phantom "350/460" series
Here is my concept of a 72-card sheet arrangement of these 66 subjects (Super-Prints are double-printed **)



v.................................... Six super-prints ....................................v











** Note
I show the super-prints Double-Printed (D-P) on this sheet, since several large T206 surveys have indicated that the 6 super-prints were D-P.
