T213-T216 Louisiana Issue Populations?

[Archive]

Posted By: Leslie Westbrook

I know this is an old thread, and I posted another thread on this topic earlier today (which looks like it's going to get buried) but I was wondering if anyone knows in what city(ies) in Louisiana (other than New Orleans) these cards were produced. Any other information, i.e. factory names, date of closure, etc. would be great too.

I am resurrecting this old thread to get some current opinions on this topic. I have been very intrigued by Coupons recently so I'm curious to see what the current thought is on population counts in regards to these issues. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I think, as stated, it goes type 2 Coupons as the most often seen, followed by the next two series, which seem to be rather close. Since the 5 yrs passed from the origination of this thread, it seems we see a few more type 1s than 3s, but my guess is both might be close in population. Interesting subject. (and we have much better board s/w than when this thread originated too )

I think we may be seeing more type 1's due to their similarities w t206. Additionally there is a seller on ebay who has been selling multiple examples of many players from t213-3 over the last year or two...you just dont see that often...but you never see it with type 1's?

I think it has been guesstimated in this thread by a few people that there is roughly 5-10 examples of each Type 1. I think that is a fair assumption, but I would actually push that down a tad, to more like 3-9 examples of each Type 1. I have been collecting these for a decade + and have only run across 1-2 examples of several players (Some have never come around), while a few others have popped up maybe, 2-3 times. The last time I looked at the pop reports for SGC/PSA, I think I took an average of each player and the net average came out to around 3.5 examples graded of each player. (I need to consult my notes further to be sure...) The Type 1's meet my definition of rare. I don't collect the Type 3's with the same passion, but I have tracked them as well for about the same time period and I think they are in lock step with Type 1's from what I can see. As far as condition, it is apparent by holding a type 3 and type 1 that the Type 3's are thicker and have sustained better condition over the century. The Type 1's are as thin as a piece of paper. Amazing they have held up at all over the years.

What about type 2's? Any thoughts on what their population might be? 50-100 still sound right? More maybe? Thanks again for the input.
