"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."
I am glad you brought up the constitution!
Isn't it wonderful that the writers of the constitution allowed for amendments..... that they knew over time - the written work itself would be more viable if it could be amended.
I am guessing burdick would have understood and believed in amendments as well (just a guess).
Its just that some hobby traditionalists - don't want nuttin changed no matta what.
Thats okay for a card hobby I guess (in the grand scheme of things... so what?).....
Thank goodness it is not the case for the constitution.
My preference would be for a more amendable system. And as far as this thread goes - my belief is that a coupon is a T206.
Regards,
Joe
