I have these listed as 1914-16 Coupon Cigs Type 2 (T213)
So
Bresnahan is a type 2 variation (Cubs)
Hofman is a Type 2
Needham is a Type 2 but
Tinker is a Type 3 (same photo as T206 1909-1911 Tolstoi)

Cubman1941,

Your Tinker is also a T213-2, not a T213-3. The way to tell the difference is the back of the cards:

See: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/...baseball-cards

Many T213 cards look exactly like T206. Same poses were re-used. Indeed, some people think that T213-1 cards are really just T206 cards with Coupon being a back variation like Sweet Caporal, Polar Bear, Hindu, etc.

No way that thread was 10 years ago, Todd and all. OP, you are on that old thread, you know more than me by now. I've added like 5 cards in 10 years. Has anyone other than MaCrae completed T213-2?

How has it been 10 years? I'm old. I also was worried when I saw a thread called "Leon".

Hang in there, gang.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the checklists also.

Type 3 for reference and a Type 2 to stay on topic.
