Darren succintly makes a great point regarding these cards......
" How tough would they today be if they had been considered a T206 back type all long?
My estimation that it would probably be in the top 5 of "toughness". "
The demand for these COUPON cards is no where near the demand for BL 460, DRUM, Red HINDU, LENOX, etc.,
simply because they are not classified as "T206's".
Had Burdick included them in the T206 family, I have no doubt that they would be in higher demand. However,
now they are basically a regional issue that does not garner the interest that T206's do.
Consider this, most serious T206 collectors strive to acquire the basic 15 T-brand backs (if not all 35-38 backs).
And, there are 1000's of T206 collectors out there in the hobby, of which many would at least seek out a type
card of a 1910 Coupon....had it been part of the mystique that is a T206.
