1910 COUPON cards
Frank
I respect your expertise a lot; but, we've had this argument before. And, once more I have to differ with you.
The T213-1 cards resemble T206's considerably more so than they do T213-2 and T213-3. For example, the 1910 COUPON cards......
1.....Stylish back design is consistent with the T206's (AB, BL, Cycle, DRUM) that were printed and issued in the Summer/Fall of 1910.
2.....All 68 fronts are consistent with the 350 series cards issued during 1910.
3.....The captions are printed with Brown ink.
T213-2 and T213-3 characteristics that are NOT consistent with 1910 COUPON cards......
1.....They were printed with BLUE ink captions.
2.....T213-2 cards are are found with gloss on their fronts.
3.....T213-3 cards are cut narrower than the 1910 COUPON cards.
4.....Some T213-3 cards have. overprints with Factory #8 on their backs.
Sorry guy, but using the "thinner stock" argument is very weak and smells like a "Louisiana red-herring".
