Love me some paper thin (T213-1) Coupons

[DixieBaseball]

I found this article very interesting that just came out by Sports Collectors Digest and some nice added pics to take you through the 19th century era of tobacco.

One part of the article I found particularly interesting and supports my theory about Burdick and how he labeled Coupons Type 1,2,3 and potentially lumped Type 1's in with Type 2 and 3's incorrectly is how he labeled Four Base Hits. Here is the excerpt from their article :

Four Base Hits The Four Base Hits are listed as type two N690 cards but are not a Charles Gross Co. product. No tobacco package that carried these cards is known to exist. Their likeness to the Kalamazoo Bats cards would suggest a similar sales box. It is also possible that these cards were produced by The August Beck Co. One card from this set is shown for identification.

Again, respectfully Burdick is a Hobby icon and I am not challenging what he means to our collecting world with his catalog system, but updates will eventually be made and adopted.
