In my above post (#31), I have presented six (or 7) arguments that clearly delineate the the rational for classifying the 1910 COUPON
cards as another sub-set of T206's....the 16th brand, if you will.
Besides the major differences stated in Post #31, the subsequent COUPON issues (T213-2 & 3) were issued during the 1914-1919 period.
These two sets were issued well into the post-divesture era of the American Tobacco Company. Far removed from the T206 era (which
included the 1910 COUPON issue).
So, can anyone come up with as many opposing arguments to mine....that will convince most of us that this COUPON set of 68 cards is
not be considered the 16th brand of the T206 set ?
Besides the recurring "flimsy" excuse of the cardboard stock difference.
Anyhow guys, once these cards are in graded plastic, who will know the difference ? ?
