T213-T217 Thinly Traded Tobacco Card Series

[obcmac]

Thrilled to get my first VE recently as well.

[buymycards]

I love the New Orleans T-cards. I am trying to put together a type set, but I still have some tough cards that I need. T215-2, Pirates, T214, T216 VE, T213-3 overprint.

I scanned the backs of my 4 T216's. Still need the T216 VE.

Maybe I can find one at the National this year.

The New Orleans type set is: ( I think this is complete)

T211
T213-1
T213-2
T213-3
T213-3 Overprint
T214
T215-1
T215-2
T215 Pirate
T216 Kotton - 3 different backs
T216 Mino
T216 VE

Beautiful Matty, Dave!

Great PC Jerame! I love the oysters sign too. Is there anything on the back?

Also, the mark on the back of the Breitenstein is right where a lot of T213-1s are missing paper - the same spot at which Ted Z thinks they were glued to the inside of the cartons. Kinda cool to see one that might actually have some glue residue left there.

Hi Rick, good luck with your type set. But the T215 Pirate set has no connection to New Orleans. They were distributed by an English tobacco company in Manilla to American sailors. I don't know why Jefferson Burdick listed them with the same designation as the Red Cross brand.

But if you still want a Pirate, go for it. There's a nice one in REA right now.

Hi Sean, you just made my quest much easier. I always wondered about the Pirate cards myself.

Thanks, Rick

My T214. Sorry, I don't have scans of my T215 or T213 type 1s. I'll have to dif those out and scan them one day.

I agree with Sean on the T215 Pirate, no need to look for that one. However, as Net54 taketh away, it also giveth. I am working on the same New Orleans type set (though not restricting myself to T cards) and can make your search a little more difficult buy adding a few:

T207 Anonymous Factory 3 and Red Cross

T210-8 - I don't know for sure these were distributed in NOLA, but this series features the New Orleans team and I feel like it is safe to assume these were distributed in New Orleans. Perhaps someone can provide an argument for/against this?

T206 - There are ads for T206 Hindu in Louisiana newspapers (I think it was New Orleans) that featured T206 ... and the ad did not feature SLers, just regular cards. It is also quite possible that the OM SLers were distributed in NOLA as well.
