Default Let's continue the T213-1 debate....are they really T206's ?

"Jim- one thing you said that was interesting is we are not sure what the criteria is for a T206, other than what has been assimilated from the time Burdick began his mammoth project to what we know today. Funny thing is, when the set was released circa 1910 it wasn't called anything. How do we know with certainty that everything we've learned about the set is what was intended back then? Could the original designers and printers ever imagined that the set would be talked about 100 years later? Could they ever imagine how valuable the cards would be? Certainly not.

So whatever T206 means to us today is our recreation of what we think it was supposed to be. Did we get it right? Who knows."


Barry,
On this, we are in complete agreement.
