T213 Coupon

Is there a value multiplier on the different Type cards ?

I see that these are usually found in mid/lower condition.

T213 Coupon cards were issued in 3 series...Type I, II, and III. Type I's are the toughest...and should be the most expensive...followed by Type III's (those w/overprints probably more expensive than type I's)...followed by Type II's...which are the most common and can be found cheaper than comparable t206's...usually.

For a multiplier...I'd guess...assuming a vg common at $40:

Type II 1x
Type III 4x
type I 6-7X
type III OP 8X

just my opinion!

thanks for your help.


I was going through my T213's last night.


I have one Type I, one Type III and about 10-15 Type II's

Interestingly, type 3's are by far the easiest to find in high-grade. Type 2's are the most common, but also the most tough to find in mid-grade because of their glossy surfaces which didn't exactly mesh with the harsh Louisiana environment.

While the Type 2's are the "most common" for Coupon's they are still pretty scarce as I see some examples pop up here and there... (There almost 200 examples in that checklist)

Type 1's are rare to say the least... I put them in that T211 Rarity camp and the Type 3's a little less rare imho...

I found a common Type 1 (Engle) last year at a Reno, Nevada Antique Mall. I was thrilled to shell out $30 for a (VG-EX) example!

James - That was the deal of the month for sure... I found a type 2 that is actually pretty scarce (Al Bridwell-Nashville) just a few months back for around $40 and I have paid much more for this card in similar condition a year ago. I bought from Larry Fritch after scouring their Online Catalog. They had several Type 2's and someone had just beat me to a handful of Type 1's.

I bought $3K of T213-2 from Fritsch over a year ago. I returned each and every one. Wasn't excited about receiving a Cobb Red Portrait graded GD with a hole punched through it.

I always returned about 40%-60% of the cards I bought from Frisch (RIP)...because of exactly what James just said. A GD card usually was only a partial card...you didn't want to go below GD....actually, I got to where I wouldn't go below EX and then you were looking at a true gd-vg card....Still got some good deals from him....and he always gave returns with a pleasant thanks and sorry it didn't work out....
