From the printer's viewpoint at American Litho (ALC), in the Summer of 1910, all 48 Southern Leaguers (SL) were no longer "150/350 subjects".
They were simply in the production timeline of the 350 series subjects, since ALC had then switched to printing PIEDMONT 350 backs on all 48
SL cards.
And, there is a very good likelihood that these printers had no concept of "150/350 series" or "350-only series", etc., etc. These are terms that
hobbyist have devised in the past 60-70 years in order to better understand The Monster.

During 1910, an ALC printer would take a 48-card sheet (pre-printed with front images of the 48 SL players) and placed it (blank-back up) on
his press ready to print the PIEDMONT 350 backs on to this sheet....per requests from Factory #25 in Richmond, Virginia.

Try to understand that 100 years ago these stockpiles of pre-printed sheets did NOT have any "series" identification as we refer to them now.
They were produced and available to meet the demand of the various Tobacco Factory's.

My research and discussions with many T206 experts over the past 31 years has formed my opinion that the COUPON-1 cards are part of the
T206 set. Furthermore, the Burdick info that Leon posted reinforces this opinion, as it reveals to us that Burdick was misinformed on the timeline
of the COUPON-1 cards. And, made a "mistake of convience" by lumping this set in with the 1914-1919 issues (T213-2 & T213-3).

This is my 3rd response to your question; nonetheless, you keep repeating it. That tells me that my response to you is being ignored, otherwise
you would engage in further discussion. Therefore, I'm wasting my time....and, at this point, continuing this, is futile. It ends here....as I will be
away for a couple of days.
