1910 COUPON cards vs POLAR BEAR No-Prints

[Archive]

Posted By: J Hull

Well, whether they're T206s or a separate issue, the question still stands why it's been decided they were issued in 1910. I'm open to it being possible, I just haven't heard a good reason for it yet. It seems to me there's two possibilities.

1) T213-1's are actually a 1909 issue. Which would mean all team captions found on T213-1's would coincide with the player pictured actually being with that team at the time the cards were made.

2) The Coupon release simply reused an old batch of art/printing plates that were out of date at the time of production.

If they did use the old art, why? And, of course, to circle back to the topic of Ted's first post, does it connect in any way to the T206 timeline?
