Hi Jerome
Unfortunately for many T206 guys this thread definitively proves Coupons, all 3 series, were never supposed to be classified incorrectly as T206. They are and always will be T213s, just as Burdick classified them.
Sorry for your dismay... Coupons are T213s....not T206s

Burdick had it right originally, but found it easier to just lump the 1's with the other two Coupon brands for Cataloging purposes.... Obviously those two are later productions of the t206 era coupon card. 1909-11 had many brands. Coupon was one of them, hence a T206. :p

Coupons
 
Hi Leon,
I respectfully disagree. Let's say that someone comes across a "find" of Polar Bear cards that were made in 1914 and the style of the new Polar Bears are similar to T206's, but they have a blue caption and a glossy front. Does that mean that the original 1909-1911 Polar Bears are no longer T206's? No, it would mean that Polar Bear decided, a few years later, to reissue their original cards with in a slightly different style. Both styles would be Polar Bears, but the original Polar Bears are still T206's. In my opinion, this scenario applies to Coupons, and Burdick was wrong.
