Dave HornishInterestingly, someone just posted a T213-2 of Demmitt in the Pickup Thread (sorry to hijack your scan James!).
There is no corresponding Coupon O'Hara but the St. Louis uni is evidence of the St. L variation existing beyond T206 which three or four years earlier. Now vintagecardprices.com and the Standard catalog shows Demmitt NY uni as a variation while Lipset does not (presumably the NY variation was unknown in the hobby when the BB Card Encyclopedia was issued). I do not have visuals on the Coupons but why on earth are both versions of Demmitt in the Coupon issue? Plus, his team caption on both Coupons is said to be Chicago Amer. (no indication of Detroit where he started out the 1914 season).
Were Type 2 Coupons issued in more than 1 year? And how do they print both the NY and ST. L uni's if not, despite NY being his 1909 team? How do both designs end up in the Type 2 Coupons?! Are they both on the same sheet? Damned strange.
