I do not fault him for incorrectly classifying the 1910 "COUPON" issue. As is evident in Leon's excerpt, Burdick's timeline of this COUPON issue is wrong (see red-circled dates
on below insert). Collaborative research on this forum has proven that the T213-1 set of cards were printed by American Lithograph and issued circa Spring/Summer 1910.
Burdick's 1914-1915 timeline pertains to the subsequent COUPON sets that he cataloged as T213-2 and T213-3. The cards in these two sets are easily distinguished from the
1910 COUPON cards since their captions were printed with blue ink (and, of course their backs are a different design).

I am with you on this statement of your's....."I am certainly willing to go along with that one, from what we know today."
I'd say we can also apply the same thinking to the 1910 COUPON issue. You don't want to call them "T206's". And, that's fine. But, let us at least acknowledge that had Burdick
the correct timeline of this issue, he may have classified these cards otherwise.

Hi Ted
As I stated, I am sure Burdick knew he made mistakes and was missing information. I concur with you in that had he known, he probably would have made the series 1 Of T213 as another brand of T206. But that still doesn't explain the paper thin nature of T213-1 vs ANY of the known T206 brands. Unless there is something I am forgetting?
