Ted ZanidakisI think we all agree that the first Coupon series (66 cards) were produced by Amer. Litho. as ATC tobacco premiums
for this Louisana based Tobacco Co. As I have stated, these cards were printed in the Summer of 1910 (coincident
with the T206's that fit my "A-B-C-D" observation. Two proofs of this......is the commonality of the artwork of their
backs....and the fact that, with the exception of the 20 Southern Leaguers, the majority of these T213-1 Subjects
conform to the aforementioned T206 A-B-C-D pattern.

Having said all that, the one "missing link" that hits us when we compare these 5 backs, is the lack of a "350 SUBJECTS"
on the COUPON back. And, perhaps Burdick separated this issue from the T206 set based on this observation ?
