Is the Cobb, Red Cross Type 1 and Coupon T213 ........

[RCMcKenzie]

Here are the 3 Coupon backs lined up. I started collecting all 3 series in the mid 80's b/c my Dad was paying and he said these T213's were just as good or better than T206 and looked exactly the same. I think he was right.
It's easy to find a T213-2, but may become difficult when you are looking for a specific card. I have 3/4 of the Tinkers and the 4th one was in LOTG and is a key to the set. I was the underbidder and the winner got a great deal I thought.
T213-3 are hard to find. More difficult than 2 series by a wide margin. T213-1 are very scarce. If they were a T206 I would say between Carolina Brights & Uzit as to difficulty level. As Mr. Z stated earlier, T213-1 has 68 cards to the set.

It's been a while since we lasted talked. At that time you needed only 5 cards to complete your 1910 COUPON set.

Any luck in completing this elusive T213 set ?

Hi, Ted,
Still working on it with 5 to go. Been working on other sets as I go along. Thanks for asking. I'll get there eventually.

Congrats on quite an accomplishment!

And it's nice to know that there's a T213-1 Dode Paskert out there, I've been getting discouraged on my quest!!!

Best,

Steve

There's no question that T-213 Type 1 has many characteristics similar to T-206, but it is also clearly part of the Coupon brand that issued the type 2 and 3. Likewise, the Cobb with Cobb back is identical in appearance to a T-206, but there are differences with the way it was distributed and packaged, and the fact that only a single card was issued with that advertising.

So if you believe that Burdick's work should remain unchallenged, then you have to go with his classifications. But if you feel he did make some errors, as he would readily admit, then it is reasonable to feel Coupons should be T-206's and Ty Cobbs should not.

Bottom line: this is a debate that will probably always have two sides, as there is no way to know the answer with certainty.

Your 63 - T213-1 cards are an amazing accomplishment. When you complete this set, I think you may be the only one on Net54 that has done so.



Here's my favorite guy in the White-Bordered series of cards......depicted on 4 different teams.

Good luck with that overprint, Ted. I know Chris has one, but I'm sure he won't be trading any time soon.

Chris and I have traded Chase's from our collections over the years. But, we have stood firm on certain ones in our collections.
For examples, I would like to have his COUPON Factory 8 overprint and his red HINDU. Chris would like my BROAD LEAF, etc.

Oh well, it's all like Bogey said in the final scene in the Maltese Falcon......" The stuff that dreams are made of "

Ted, it's a shame you can't help each other, but some of those cards are virtually one of a kind. I know how hard it was for me to find the Merkle Factory 8 overprint.
