Frank - That's a great post and we share a lot of the same thoughts. I believe Coupon was a second class brand as well and didn't get first run cards.
There are a lot of players included in the T213-1 set that had been traded or out of baseball all together by the time the set was issued. Charlie Starr is an example as he was traded from Boston in July of 1909 to Philly and didn't play again in the majors after the 1909 season yet he is in the T206 350 series and the T213-1 set as a Boston player.
I would like a definitive time marker in the set beyond just a starting point if that is possible. It may be there and I'm just missing it, but without it we can only say they could have been printed as early as...but could have been printed anytime after.
