Re: Peculiar T213-2 Find ??
I saw that card on ebay and looked it up in the guides. When I couldn't find it, I concluded that it must have been altered. The comparative boldness of the fonts is another giveaway. Still a neat item, though.

This is the only team he was listed for in the Coupon T213-2 set...
 Looks like a home-made team change. -Rhett

Thanks guys for the comments - I concur... It looks like one of those team changes back in the day...
Barger did play for Memphis in 1916,17 & 19 according to Sabr/BaseballReference.com Now, since this card does not actually exist, I can't decide whether I will ask the seller to take the card back, return my money, or consider it a "neat" traded type card from the ole days like the OJ pictured... Hmmm....

While it may be a home made team change it looks pretty sophisticated to me especially the use of the same color.
Since you found he did play at Memphis I would keep the card.

I would definitely keep it! The cool thing is that, like Scott's Ward, the only time someone would have cared enough to go about changing the team name is when Barger was actually playing on Memphis, and that means your card was doctored probably by its original owner who liked the taste of Coupon cigarettes. That's a neat card as far as I'm concerned.
