Are the 1910 COUPON (T213-1) cards really T206's ? ....I think so. ....What say you ?
Quote:
Pat 1st.....Here is exactly what I said in the 1st post in this thread... .. Quote:
Pat....do notice that I stated...."Such a cigarette carton" This particular carton which Jeremy posted in his thread some years ago contained COUPON cigarettes manufactured in 1913 - 1919. And, if cards were enclosed in this type of carton, they would have been either T213-2 or T213-3. This we know for sure, since the LIGGETT & MYERS TOBACCO CO. logo is printed on it. The ATC divesture (circa June 1911) resulted in the following manner LIGGETT & MYERS was given about 28 per cent of the cigarette market: Coupon Piedmont Fatima American Beauty Home Run Imperiales King Bee Fatima (the only 15 Turkish blend and the cheap straight domestic brands. P. LORILLARD received 15 per cent of the nation's business: Helmar Egyptian Deities Turkish Trophies Murad Mogul and all straight Turkish brands AMERICAN TOBACCO CO. retained 37 per cent of the market: Sweet Caporal Hassan Mecca Pall Mall, its expensive all-Turkish brand, named for a fashionable London street in the 18th century where "pall-mall" (a precursor to croquet) was played. R. J. REYNOLDS received no cigarette line but was awarded 20 per cent of the plug trade. 2nd....." and can you answer the question of where the 1910 date for the type 1 comes from." Approx 10 years ago, Louisiana Newspaper clippings (1909 or 1910) were posted in a Net54 thread introducing the new ATC tobacco brand, COUPON. TED Z T206 Reference . |

In your thread title you ask "what say you" and when I posted my opinion you stated that I'm uniformed and that I'm misleading people. I don't care if people consider them T206's but in my opinion there is more evidence to support how Burdick catalogued them and not enough to change it. Yes they have the same image as T206's but the same group of subjects are not found on any other backs except piedmont's which were used on every subject with the exception of Demmitt and O'Hara St. Louis. The same T206 images were also used for type 2 and 3 and the Chief Meyers T213-3 card depicting him with New Haven would have been printed in 1919 or later, eight years after the T206 printing supposedly ended. So they either made new plates or used the T206 plates after their printing ended. When I look at the group of subjects in the T213-1's it seems plausible that's what they did with them. Do you have a copy of that newspaper clipping and does it mention anything about baseball pictures? |

It isn't different. The pack depicted on Jon's site is labelled LIGGETT & MYERS; therefore, it was issued 1913 (or later). If it had BB cards in it they would be T213-2 or T213-3, ONLY.
OR, it may have Movie stars in it from that era. For example... . Quote:
Your statement here tells us that you don't realize Jefferson Burdick incorrectly classified all three T213 sets as 1914-1915 issues. This timeline is a proven fallacy, on both ends of it. "T213-1"......1910 T213-2... .1914-1916 T213-3... .1916-1919 Quote:
You find it, you are good at searching for things. Frankly, I am tired of playing this game. You do not want to accept my research, fine.....that's your prerogative. It appears to me that many guys responding in this thread have more of an open mind. TED Z . |

I have been searching past threads. I did find one from 2009 where Jamie Hull
questioned the 1910 date but no one mentioned a Coupon newspaper clipping. |

Interesting how the clipping about the contest also has the "Coupon" in quotes. Pat, nice job finding the thread.

That's the 1908 Times Picayune article which I referred to regarding the "COUPON" Cigarettes brand. I knew you would find it. Come on Pat, this is silly...."but it doesn't say anything about baseball pictures.". T206's were not issued until approx. a year later (circa Spring/Summer 1909). Anyway, thanks for finding this Newspaper article. TED Z T206 Reference . |

That's my point Ted I asked where the 1910 dating of the T213-1's came from and
you said a newspaper clipping if that's not the case then where did that information come from? |

Maybe, Like many other things, it came from conjecture not fact. When I started quoting Burdick all I got in response was some old hobbyists said "this and that." I say if we are going to have a good debate we should base it on facts not what someone might have said a long time ago.
