Let's continue the T213-1 debate....are they really T206's ?

Burdick classified T213’s the following way (verbatim from the 1960 ACC)

T213- Baseball Series, Coupon cigts. Designs of No. T206 .25
2 types: name in brown as in No. T206 or name in blue. On card or heavy paper. Issued 1914-15 and includes Federal League. Many team changes. Name in blue value .35


He goes on to say that T214 and T215 both use designs of No. T206 and both are similar to T213. He states these things very plainly. Had he wanted T213(-1) in T206 he would have done so and not used the phrase “heavy paper” above, obviously referring to T213-1 Coupons. I consider, from what he stated, the type 1’s and type 3’s should potentially be consolidated into one series…or he didn’t know about the type 3’s when he finished the catalog, which is possible, and leaves the T213-1's as the heavy paper ones he was referring too. Whether he should have done so or not, he did what he did, fully understanding where No. T206 fit into his/the equation.....I will just go against the grain on this one I guess….It won’t be the first time…I guess next we can argue W600 and H801-7 Old Mill…...best regards
