Then you get guys like Tom Needham, who last played in 1914 (and Billy Purtell--Detroit). Did he continue to get printed or was he replaced? And George Mullin, who has 1914 and 1915 Fed Lg. Cards and then was done. Since the Federal Lg itself did not make it to 1916, I assume his 1915 card was not reprinted in 1916, and as he had no other team identification, he was replaced. Same for Russ Ford and Buffalo.

Here's one....Josh Devore's T213-2 card identifies him with Chillicothe (Ohio State League).

Devore retired from MLB at the end of the 1914 season. He became the playing/manager for Chillicothe in the 1915 season.

I do not think there is a 1914 card of him. But then, I may be proven wrong.

Ted, I'm afraid Devore has a 1914 card with the Phillies as well, so he was around at the beginning of t213-2. Interesting though, is why he wasn't included in 1916 for either of his teams that year, Topeka or Milwaukee. These cities had to be at least as important in the baseball world. Maybe Coupon wasn't aware if Mr. Devore's travels? Did they reprint Chillicothe or drop him in 1916?

Also, Devore left Philly for Boston in mid-1914 and yet shows for the Phillies, meaning the first run of T213-2s must have been done before his trade on 7/3/14. We could probably pin it down further if every player in the set has his movements reviewed.

Here's the other Jordan and the two Devore's...I agree that we could pin down the release dates for players that played only one year for a team, but for someone who played all 3 years for the same club, 1914-1916, I assume they re-issued the same card each year. I don't know of any rare cards that fit that type of card/player...I'm going to study on it some more as I'm working on T213-2 again where I left off...I'm about halfway through.

Keep 'em coming. It also looks like Gabby Street was added after the first year, since he appears for Nashville, where he played 1915-16, but does not show for Chattanooga, his 1914 team.

I found my Chase portrait with Buffalo (FL)....my guess it's a 1915 issue. Also, the T213-2 card of Chase (Trophy) identifies him with Buffalo.

Jack Warhop, St. Louis Nationals. Never played for them. His whole Major League career was spent with the New York Highlanders/Yankees.

Very neat information. I figure the Quality Assurance in pieces of cardboard stuck in cigarette packs was probably not at it's highest level. Just get them and get them out !!!


I only own one Coupon, and, of course, it Camnitz, Savannah.

Harry Camnitz pitched in Savannah in 1915, which makes sense for a Type 2 time frame. Although the corresponding T206 is always considered Howie.

Not that big a deal, but they can't both be right
