All kidding aside, just as Burdick chose to group Coupons as Type I, Type II and Type III, he could have decided to classify different Sweet Caporal, Piedmont, American Beauty, etc issues as Type I, Type II, etc. He didn't. And this is where the problem comes in.

I still believe Burdick's own criteria broke down in certain instances, the biggest being that a Coupon Type I, IMO, is an extension of the T206 set. The time frame it was issued, the design, the factories, the manufacturer all match. Coupon's later issues changed the caption color instead of the border color.

Hey Jon
I am trying to understand your logic here but I am not seeing it? Burdick classified those ones you mentioned based on their white borders and (possibly) the fact there weren't other series, as T213 and T215. That is my argument and I am not sure I would conclude anything different from your analysis. Actually, you might have helped make my argument, so I appreciate that

. And what about the paper-thin card stock issue pertaining to the T213-1's?

Leon - and here I thought you helped prove my point. If Burdick classified T206s "based on their white borders...", then Type I's should most def be included.

As for the thin stock - Coupon never made slide and shell cig packs, only paper - hence my theory why a thinner stock was used. AB's are thinner than other T206s, Polar Bears are the only ones with a solid color back - the T206 set is allowed to have small anomalies.
