T213-2 Coupons ++ Educate me please .....

I can't speak to much about the nuances of the set, but I do have a couple and one of my favorite things is the handful of towns/cities that get a card and are otherwise forgotten by pre-war sets. Here's my Devore Chillicothe, which is my wife's hometown.

Edit: Just went to look at the checklist after I posted this. Looks like Chillicothe is really the only obscure town listed. For some reason I thought there were others.

That's pretty cool! I never knew that Chillicothe made a card of anyone. I played for the Paints back in 2015 and really enjoyed my time there. Great baseball town!

One thing to note is that SGC does not differentiate T213's by catalog number but by year. So T213-2 is 1914 and T213-3 is 1919 (I do not have a T213-1 to show).

Always liked the T213-2s. To answer some of your questions-There are many team change variations that are quite difficult, the most important of which is the Demmitt-New York. There are only a handful known and a two (if one ever surfaced) would probably set you back $5K or more. $100-150 for a common two is not that far off. It's a bargain for anything north of common. I highly doubt that a set of 2s could be assembled for under $50K. Best of luck in the hunt!

Brian,

Thanks for Fed. list, they might be my start.

Funny that Chillicothe was mentioned. I also checked teams on list. I thought Camnitz with Sav. was the lowest level a C. But Chillicothe wins as a class D lg.

Fun, fun, Scott

Type 2 is a great set and difficult to sum up in a quick post...there are a few guys on here who know a lot...what Ed said about the Demmitt is right...Jerry

Here's an old thread that delved into the t213-2s

Here's a scan of the Demmitt with New York Uniform showing (not mine)

I would agree that -- as others described -- the full set is not for the faint of heart.

I'd also mention that technical grades mean almost nothing for this set. There are plenty of great looking 1's out there, and they frequently look just as nice as the 3's, if not nicer.

I've been lucky to make it to needing only one card for the set... That pesky NY Demmitt is what I need, so if anybody has a lead on one...

Good luck if you choose to pursue the set or any side projects within it!

Cheers,
Steve

That’s cool to hear. My wife’s grandfather was a big Paints supporter and went to almost every game from their inception. When he passed we inherited many items and dozens of team signed balls and bats. He also played several years for the Mead Paper Company Team which was a popular semi-pro team in the town and played several major barnstorming and Negro League squads.

Like Adam stated concerning the glossy finish prone to crazing, even a fairly low condition card like the examples below can retain a fresh, colorful look (at least they do in my eyes).

If you want a lengthy post on the largest and greatest discovery of T213 cards ever made and how it happened etc. hit the search bar and write in T213, I just finished posting it today (Feb. 8, 2025) the who, how, where, when and why of the incredible find of around 2500 cards from one source from the 1980's.
You're welcome :-)

Thanks for link, read it, very interesting.

Back then I only knew T213-2s as a catalog number ...... but now it's my new "obsession." ...................

Of course, can't compare prices from then and now, but find today's price quite acceptable ......
