Coupon Type 1--Notes & Facts

[FrankWakefield]

I'm ok with that....

You started this out listing all of the way the cards are alike. But when you get done, they're still different. For me, I see that, I can feel that, and I understand why Mr. Burdick listed them separately.

The other thread talks about American Litho printing all of these cards. I've always been on board with that. Sweet Caporal didn't print cards, they distributed them. Ted is dead on trying to convince any who doubts, or mistakenly think otherwise. I think some folks get mislead when someone reads where Sovereign made ball cards, or Piedmont made ball cards. American Litho made the cards.

Lest someone have an epiphany over the fact that Coupon cigarettes were manufactured under the ATC umbrella 1910-1911ish, just like T206s... the gold border and brown border tobacco cards were distributed then, too, under the ATC umbrella, reckon they must be T206s too?

Simply, from looking at a front, some T206s and some T213-1s look identical. For me, the difference in card stock is a significant difference, the quotes instead of a series is a significant difference, the two bunches of cards aren't the same to me at all. And they never will be. The "hogwash" was because the notes and facts weren't complete, but were selective, begging a desired result. Seemed obvious to me.
