Please Show your Type 1 Red Cross (T215-1) & Coupons (T213-1)

Alright... I can add to my Huggins post back there. Thank you, Chris. Now I have a Huggins T213 type 1.





I know the idea of thinking of the type 1 Coupon cards being like T206's crops up. In a slab they look similar. Hold one in your hand and it is obvious that the type one cards are virtually on paper, not cardstock. The type 1's aren't at all like T206's. At least the slim American Beauty cards look like they were T206 size until a side was trimmed. Their thinness, their fragility, would be a contributing factor to there being few of the type 1 cards...

Frank, the slab kills a lot of learning opportunities regarding cards...and hides quite a few surface creases and other flaws.

Leon suggested that I crack out a '14 CJ just so that I would know what they were really like (thinness mainly). I was kind of stunned - I now have a lot more respect for those that survived.

- Scott - I held my first type 1 several years ago and like you was utterly surprised at just how delicate and ultra thin these cards are... The CJ's as well. It does make you appreciate their survival more and certainly helps one understand why so few survived (Type 1's) compared to Type 2's, etc.

Thanks to Andrew for posting a seldom seen type 1, LaPorte. The list is dwindling down, but we have a little ways to go... Post em if you got em...

Jim & Marc,
Thanks for sharing your tough types! We are taking this list down, so I hope anyone else might be able to jump in and knock the remaining Type 1's off the list. Nice Bay Jim and a super tough player to find...

Let's also strike these remaining 2 Cincy players that I recently owned...
