Regarding your post #59......
" And Ted, while those images look nice, and the frame lines are compelling... 4 of them mention "350" one doesn't...."
Very true; however, the "COUPON" tobacco company was a recent acquire by ATC (circa 1909/1910....and, it appears as if American
Litho. (ALC) designed this set as an ASSORTED series of cards.
Let us view this COUPON issue from their FRONT's standpoint. ALC selected 48 Major Leaguers from their 350 series gallery (which we
know was in print in the Summer/Fall of 1910) and 20 Southern Leaguers from the 48 in the earlier T206 series, that best represented
the region served by the Coupon Tobacco Co.
So, I'm not concerned that the wording "350 Subjects" was omitted on the COUPON back.
Best regards my friend,
