Frank,
Yes, I have...quite a few in fact. I am not at all disputing that the paper stock is noticeably thinner. What I am saying is that I don't consider this a reason to exclude these from being part of this set. Regardless of the stock, Coupon Type 1's share the same manufacturer, timeline, artwork, design, production, and distribution methods as all other T206 brands. To me these are the common threads that make a card a "T206". Others may disagree (Burdick obviously did) but there really is no right answer. All we can do is try to define common characteristics of the several different subsets of cards that we group together under the name of T206. To me, any card that fits the criteria I stated belongs under this heading.
