Does anyone know if there are any other Louisiana issues of Vintage cards aside from Coupon, Kotton (et al.), Tango Eggs, Holsum (?) and Victory? I know I'm missing some, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

T207 Cards were issued with anon. backs from factory no. 3 dist. of Louisiana. Not every t207 but some. They are one of the 2 toughest backs besides red cross which is in a class all it's own.

I believe T211 Red Sun is a Louisiana issue as well.

I have a 207 Anon. Buck Weaver. Louis. issue. PSA 5. I have only ever seen one other like it. Any idea how many others might be out there? A guesstimate? Not selling it, just curious. I bought it from a guy in Chicago. Bought it raw. Very nice card. he wasn't sure what it was. I was.

I'd still like to know why, with New Jersey factory numbers, people seem to believe that T215s originated in Louisiana. I know that Lemke's book says so, but my question is how did he or whomever else come by that information.

Many years ago (maybe 14?), Alan Hager actually showed up at a mall card show in Lincoln. As I was trying to get as many of the T206 backs as possible, I was looking through his and came across a Lenox back. The price was outragous, and his explanation was that Lenox backs had only sold in New Orleans, thus justifying their scarcity and his price.
