A summary of the 68 cards that make up Coupon Type 1
68 total cards
20 of them are SLers--Coupon type 1 contains all the Southern Association SLers of T206. 16 are from the 150/350 SLer group of T206 and 4 are from the 350-only SLer group.
6 of them are the T206 Superprints. Coupon type 1 contains all the T206 superprints.
42 remaining cards are all 350 only subjects of T206. I'm not sure why these 42 of the 208 350-only T206 series were designated for inclusion in Coupon Type 1, but I am actively pursuing clues.
It's understandable to have the Southern Association SLers included, certainly advisable to include the 6 superprints (the most popular players of the time), but why randomize 42 of 208 subjects? The answer may come with closer inspection of the included and excluded subjects as well as documented T206 brand patterns....
