***1942 checklist info added at bottom***
As everyone knows there is a 1950 Book of Checklists authored by Charles Bray. Everyone probably also knows I was able to ascertain the personal copy of Walt Corson's. Both of these men were instrumental in the forming of the American Card Collectors Catalog, along with Burdick. I had to take the book out yesterday to help find who the 121st player was in the T204 set. It was handwritten as #121 in the book I have (Morgan, btw). That sort of made it easy, but I digress.
I got to thinking that maybe this very early book could reveal some more clues on the debate of T213 vs T206, and if we really should call the type 1 Coupons, T206s? After further study I guess it's obvious the founding fathers (as I call them) knew exactly what they needed to and decided to call T213 "Coupon" as I have always said they should be. Now, if we think they made a mistake, then I think we can debate that. What, to me, is not debatable is that they knew exactly what they were doing, and in thinking through it, did not make a mistake (in their minds) when categorizing them. I scanned these pages the best I could as I didn't want to harm the very tattered book anymore than it already is. That is why these scans will be poor....but at least the first list is mostly readable. The second list didn't come out as well but I am including it anyway....Special note to the handwritten, tiny note concerning the Irby Company. best regards (the book is all one size but my scans are anything but)
