Are the "T213-1" (1910 COUPON) cards really T206's ? ....I think so....What say you ?

[barrysloate]

As I've said before, if the Coupons were issued only in a single series, it would have been an easy decision for Burdick to group them with T206. But because there were three series, he had to make a decision and chose to classify the three as T213.

I do think the Type 1's are in spirit T206's, but as Leon pointed out they have been catalogued as T213's since the beginning and we can't arbitrarily change the ACC. However, if we could somehow take a time machine back and converse with Burdick, he would surely say that his work isn't gospel and is subject to corrections and reappraisal.

If somebody wanted to take the entire ACC and reevaluate the classifications, I think that would make for an amazing project. I have to think collectively the current hobby knows everything that Burdick knew, plus a lot more.

My father worked at Crouse-Hinds Electric Co. in Syracuse, NY when Burdick was also working there. To the best of my knowledge they never had this discussion.

Here are some of my 1910 COUPON cards that have been graded, and others that should be graded. The Grading Co.'s are very tough
on these cards. Especially, my Chance which I figured would get a PSA 3 (or perhaps even a 4).

So, anyone here would like to venture a guess as to what grade this Willett will get ?

Hey guys
How's about joining in on this show....so show your 1910 COUPON cards. Condition is immaterial. Although, I'd like to see one with a Vg-Ex grade (or better).

The nicest one I have owned and the only one I have left for a type.

Hi Scott

Thanks for posting your 1910 COUPON Becker. So far, it is the highest graded T213-1 card posted in this thread.

And if I recall correctly....you are one of the guys who think these COUPON cards should belong in the T206 set.


Here's the highest graded 1910 COUPON in my collection.....
