T5 Pinkerton Coupon & 1888 Old Judge N173 list
 

Always adding to the "associated" items here are a few ...... I am sure there are more around but I don't remember seeing the T5 Pinkerton Cabinet coupon before....

Very cool pieces, Leon. I'd love to have that Pinkerton coupon in my collection! Wink-wink......

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mike. It's fitting in quite well with it's brethren at the moment.

Nice collection Leon

Great collection!

I like how the T5 coupon says "secure list from your dealer". If somebody had one of those lists it would make an excellent checklist. It seems to me that the T5 "set" is a moving target, with new cards being discovered and several different formats. Very tough set to collect.

Also interesting that the offer ended 11/1/1911. It might end any speculation of that set being issued over a longer time frame.

anyone else find it interesting
 

that the lot of 1200 coupons recently sold for nearly 3000. in Legendary? Best I could tell less than 5% of them had even the slightest connection to tobacco companies that issued cards and even fewer with baseball related themes. Many of them appeared to be for profit sharing and alternative redemptions besides premiums. Hard to imagine any coupon (no not a T card) selling for more than 20.00 - 30.00 (something like the 19th century Ginter album redemptions of which there were 10 or less) and most early coupons for the T3/T9 series and a couple of others that include colleges or S/L/R's and serve as checklists routinely bring a just few bucks. The other 99% are probably worth about 2 dollars a pound. Just wondering what the winner's intent is - it's not much of an archive and resale not really an option. The value a collector puts on things is up to them and I'm good with it.

nice Pinkerton Leon - hadn't seen that one before although I generally concentrate on album redemption coupons.

Nice T-5 Pinkerton coupon Leon. I have an example as well but it is a bit different from yours.

As an added bonus, T-4 and T-6 coupons are pictured as well.
