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

Posted By: Scot Reader


The logical case for joining the 1910 Coupons with the other 15 tobacco brands in the 1909-11 ATC baseball release seems persuasive; however, I don't think the 1910 Coupons can simply be relabelled as T206s since the ACC is the foundational document for the "T" classification scheme and it tells us that a 1910 Coupon is not a T206 but rather a T213-1. To argue that a 1910 Coupon is a T206 is kind of like arguing that since there are parallels between the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution we should start calling the Fourteenth Amendment the Fifth. If one wants to say that the 1910 Coupons are part of the "1909-11 ATC White Borders Set" I would be more receptive.
