[Archive]

Bobby Byrne played for St Louis till 8/19/09

Billy Campbell's Major League (ML) career ends 8/23/09

Ray "Chappy" Charles ML career ends 5/28/10

Joe Dunn's ML career ends 9/26/09

Miller Huggins is with Cinci till Feb 1910

Doc Marshall's ML career ends 10/7/09

Claude Rossman ML career ends 9/3/09


These are the players I am familiar with. We could look up the others you have listed. But, given Scot Reader's release
date of early 1910 for the 350-only Series cards, I think we can conclude that these COUPON cards were issued some
time in the Spring/Summer of 1910.

I believe this is reinforced by the common back design of the Coupon's as illustrated in my "Quintuplicate" theory that
these (A-B-C-D) brands' back design were drawn by the same artist and were issued within months of each other.
The release date of the A-brand (American Beauty) is documented to be in April 1910.


But, I can understand if you feel (as Leon does) that the Coupon's are not in the T206 "family", then they should not
be compared as I did here.

I firmly believe that these cards should be identified along with the other T-brands in the T206 set.
