It's obviously an after the fact designation but that doesn't, to me, make it arbitrary, I assume Burdick's intent was to group all cards from ATC brands that had fronts that looked alike?

On the Journals, did I read correctly that the T36 Auto Drivers set was only distributed in packs for a single day? There are far more examples to be found of T36 than T213-1. |

I asked earlier if you thought Coupon 1 was a type of Broder. I'm totally fine with that. I'm reading that's what you are saying. It could have been a one-off test print on cheaper paper without a release date at all, could it not? |

together when they started printing the set. Attachment 461171 The Cobb I personally don't consider part of the set for several reasons one of them being we don't have proof of when they were printed. I'm not familiar with the term Broder but as I said I think the Coupons copied the t206's and were printed after the t206 printings ended. |

T218's 3rd series is stated to have been issued in February, 1911 on one page in the ledger itself, and one of the Posey letters states May 25th. Many of the pages are also missing, they are numbered to at least 380. Including the Posey letters not counted in the page count, there are 65 pages still together plus the remnants of the T206 pages someone ripped out of the collection to sell at some point, removing a lot of context. I suspect T36 is one of the issues that had multiple issue (and print?) runs, and so was not issued for only March 27 and 28, 1911. |

Thanks for the update. I agree that there are too many T36 Auto Drivers cards around today for them to have had a severely limited print run. I glanced through some of the content on the Journals that I think was on the non-sports board awhile back, and remember the T36 part. I was kind of hoping to wind-down the T206/T213 discussion for now, at least from my side. The reason I have been able to collect-up so many Coupons is that T213 cards have always been viewed as some sort of inferior knock-off to T206, less-so today than in the past. |

There are two pages on the T36's in the journal one for Mecca and one for Hassan. The dates are when they first started packing and shipping. Attachment 461246 Attachment 461247 on some of the pages they went back and noted when that particular insert was discontinued but many of them they didn't. Also some of them say to pack and ship for 30 or 60 days but not all of them. If you look at the Hassan page for the auto drivers you can see it says discontinued packing Lighthouse pictures and substituted auto drivers. Here's an earlier Hassan page that has the Lighthouses Attachment 461248 They started packing on 1-26-11 and shipping on 1-28-11 this indicates they were distributed around 60 days so the auto drivers were probably distributed for either 30 or 60 days. |
