Probably not, Ted. The pop reports suggest that each of these white-bordered sets is scarcer than the T213-1 set: T214 Victory, T215-1 Red Cross, T215-2 Red Cross, T216 Mino, and T216 Virginia Extra.

Maybe he just meant "White Borders" in the formal hobby sense, as the name of the set. 1992 Bowman has white borders, but buying them doesn't make you a White Border collector. Still, T215-1 is a fair point as I'd say they belong to the set as much as T213-1s do.

Dean, that Matty is beast!

Here is my one and only T213-1. A huge thanks to Jobu for selling me this; and I got to meet Bryan in person in a DC hotel to do the swap.

Thanks Ryan. I bought it back in 2012 and I haven't seen another offered publicaly since. Population is still at total of 6 graded as well.

Your Evers is incredible. I love the colors on that pose.

American Lithographic (ALC) printed 48 different Southern Leaguers (SL) in the T206 set......20 of which, represent the Southern Association.
ALC included these 20 guys in their printing of the T213-1 set.

One challenge you can try for is putting together a T213-1 SL same team sub-set.

Or, you can combine the T213-1 of your choice with its T206 counterparts to complete a back run. Anyway you play the game, you'll have fun

Here's the only one I have left. For the record I too feel they should be included as part of the T206 set.

Ol' Ira Thomas. What can you say about him?

Hey Glenn, Rick McQ and Scott B

The 4 of us appear to be in the minority on this forum....by considering the T213-1 (and T215-1) cards as an integral factor making up a complete T206 set

Ted, while the T213-1 cards are all major or southern leaguers there
are a number of confirmed two name T206 cards that are a major
and a minor league subject and some of the major league subjects
are T213-1 subjects so I don't think ALC used the same sheets for
the coupons.

this is a list of the confirmed two name cards with a minor and major
league subject.

Atz - Hoffman (Providence)
Butler - Raymond
Jackson - Hoffman (ST. Louis)
Livingstone - Maloney
McGinley - Speaker
Moran, Herbie - Arrelanes
Barbeau - Strang
Graham (ST. Louis) - Clark (Columbus)
McGlynn - Jones (Detroit)
Lennox - Clancy
Pickering - Myers

Here's a collage that Chris did of some of the two name cards.

I only know of only 2 complete T213-1 sets. It is virtually impossible to put together this complete (68-card) set. Nevertheless, if you enjoy a challenge, I recommend
putting together a sub-set of T213-1 cards. For example, here is my Six Super Prints sub-set......

Note the paper loss spot on the back of the Chase (dark cap) card. Many of the T213-1 cards are found with a similar type of paper loss spot.

These COUPON cigarettes were packaged in cartons (11" x 3" x 2") labelled "COUPON" Cigarettes. My research indicates this paper loss is
due to some of the T213-1 cards having been pasted on these cartons.
No standard size cigarette packs of this new COUPON brand have been found. And, I do not think they exist. Perhaps, this is why ALC printed
these cards on a thinner stock of cardboard (these cards were not meant to serve as cigarette pack stiffeners).

Hi Ted,
Thank you for the excellent research. It is always interesting. I have to agree with you about the Type 1's being a part of the T206 set, and I also lean toward including the Type 1 T215's in with the T206's. Not that it really matters either way, because the designations will never change.
