Let's continue the T213-1 debate....are they really T206's ?

Darren extended my American Beauty 350-Broad Leaf 350-Cycle 350-Drum (A-B-C-D) connection to include the Coupon
Tobacco brand (the 68 cards classified as T213-1 set). The T213-1 back design is identical to the style and pattern of
the A-B-C-D backs. Coupon Tobacco was part of the American Tobacco Co. (ATC) in 1910 when these cards were prin-
ted by the American Lithographic Co. (ATC's associate).

There are 20 subjects from the 8 teams in the Southern League (Coupon Tobacco was based in Louisana). The fronts of
these 20 cards are identical to the ones in the T206 set.
There are 48 Major leaguers in the T213-1 set whose fronts are identical to the ones in the T206 350-only Series. These
48 are listed below.....and, for what it is worth, research has shown that the greater majority of these 48 Subjects were
printed with 3 (or all 4) of the A-B-C-D backs (see scan) as T206's. Further reinforcing the contention that these cards,
arguably, are an additional T-brand in the T206 set.

It is a worthwhile debate that is tailored for this Forum. Let's continue this discussion......what are your thoughts on the
1910 COUPON cards ?
We all know how very rare these 68 cards are; but, this should not discourage us from conducting a thought-provoking
conversation here.
