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.
Approx 10 years ago, Louisiana Newspaper clippings (1909 or 1910) were posted in a Net54 thread introducing the new ATC tobacco brand, COUPON.

How is the pack on Jon's site any different than the carton?
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?
