Were the T210's actually a 1910 issue or were they issued in 1911?

I also didn't associate the Old Mill coupon with the T3's.

Here are a couple of pages from the journal on the Turkey Reds. It looks like you could only get the T3's through the mail in the beginning but later on (series 2 maybe) they also came in the 250 and 500 count cigarette packaging.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting, but not surprising that the Turkey Red and Old Mill T3 coupons generally line up in regards to packing, shipping, and discontinued dates. I would also think the 4/26/10 date aligns with series 2 as 51-76 carried over from series 1. The coupon mentioned 5/1/10, a later date than ball players, for athletes. The athletes were probably overlapped on the backs to increase how many they could move, since they would have been less popular. Possibly the store displays in the cartons had the ad backs, just a guess. It's neat to compare the Turkey Red ad backs with the H801-7 backs. The Turkey Red ad backs and no offer backs are probably connected somehow towards the end of production as well. I would assume you could request series 1 through the end and those population numbers are higher, I would have to check though. I think when Turkey Red began shipping the "college cards" on 7/21/10 that could be an approximate ballpark date for when the H801-7 began shipping for Old Mill to the designated regions in that set.

It's a rabbit hole.
