Furthermore, if I recall Burdick's notes correctly, he dated all three T213 sets as having been issued "1913 - 1914".
And of course, we now know that the T213-1 set is indeed a 1910 issue.

Correct. He actually said 1914-15 but that, along with the back design and the fact there were three types of Coupons (Burdick actually only cited two), is the biggest reason I do not believe they were classified as T206. Even if he logistically wanted to call them T206s, he could not because of the dates he believed they were from.

Burdick was a genius to have accomplished what he did for the hobby (both sports and non-sports).

But, what is puzzling to me....is he apparently missed the clear distinction of the Brown-captioned T213-1 cards vs the Blue-captioned T213-2 and T213-3 cards.

American Lithographic switched to printing the captions using BLUE ink from 1913 - 1919 for these tobacco cards (T213-2, T213-3, T214, T215-2).

Agree - he was way ahead of his time.

In my version of the ACC, he actually did separate the two as he notes a brown font version and a blue font version. What is interesting is that he did not note two separate types of blue-font cards for T213-2 and T213-3 and only says there are two types.

He obviously noted the brown font cards looked like T206 cards. He even says in the ACC that these were 'as T206.' I believe that if he knew the correct dating of the cards, we'd have a different classification. But as I said, he believed they were from 1914-15 and, thus, had no option. There was no way he could call them T206s. That, along with the identical backs to other T206s (i.e. Cycle, etc.), printing in the T206 years, the same fronts, is enough for me to believe the T213-1s are probably T206s. Just my opinion and I know others disagree.

Ditto
I would venture to say that " The 1910 COUPON club " on this forum has possibly more believers than its critics would have guessed.
