Thanks for the reply, Mike. I consider you a T207 expert. Maybe I should have said "specialist", so others can or will chime in. I agree and understand the argument that it's easier, and just as well, to use Burdick's system. I was just wondering if a T207 Red Cross is just another T207, why is a T206 looking card with a Red Cross back it's own set? Maybe Burdick wasn't aware of T207 Red Cross. Have a good one.

T215 Red Cross cards say "100 DESIGNS" on the back whereas T207 Red Cross make no mention of the number of cards. Perhaps that's another reason for wanting to categorize T215-1 separately from T206 verses grouping all T207 together.

It's interesting in Lew Lipset's books that he states that Burdick was a card collector not only a sports card collector and didn't even follow sports !

Good point, Steve. The company clearly wanted the consumers to keep buying the product, attempting to find all 100 cards. BTW, do you have a current check list for the T215-1 and 2? I have 2006 SCD which has type 1 at 96 and type 2 at 94. I wonder if the set was left short of 100 so that people would keep chasing, or maybe chase cards were lost.

I have been keeping a checklist of "checklisted cards" versus "confirmed cards via scans" -- I'd be happy to share it in another thread (sorry for going off-topic). Neither list is 100 cards long, but my guess is that there were short prints that didn't survive.

The T211 backs state "1 TO 75" and there are actually 75 in that set, so I have no reason to think that they actually just omitted cards from the set...

Cheers,
Steve
