Does anyone have any pricing data for this set from 1939? I had heard that Burdick didn't know about this set until the 1940's? Thank you.

A nice introduction for T213 cards exists here: https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.co...igarettes-set/ at the Sport Collectors Daily . T213 cards all have Coupon cigarette backs but are now recognized as having three varieties. They are much earlier than your posting asserts with T213 Type 2 cards (most common) being printed from 1914-1916 (approximately). If you find cards with Coupon backs from the 1930s or 1940s, they are not T213 cards but maybe some related release. I believe that since these cards have a T-designation Burdick cataloged them. (Somebody correct me if I�m wrong). You can find existing checklists in the Trading Card Database or maybe PSA�s set registry.

Hi. Strike that. I mixed up two different references. The page below is from Charles Bray 1950 book of checklists.
