That by itself doesn't suggest it should not be part of T206.

Yeah, again, I'm not for a complete overhaul of the tobacco series numbers or anything. Alas, they are just hobby designations. If you have a Coupon or Red Cross series 1 card and want to put it with the rest of your 1909-12 white border tobacco cards, go for it. I do.
The designations help with buying, selling and organizing. Certainly we don't know how the sets were perceived when they were first issued.
