Cobb/Cobb....T206 card or something else?

[Chicago206]

"Any white-bordered card with BROWN lettering in its caption, that was printed and issued by American Lithographic during 1909-1911
falls under the rubric that Burdick classified as a "T206". Therefore, this Red Ty Cobb....AND....the 68 cards of the 1910 COUPON set
are "T206's"......period !"


So then why did Burdick classify the Coupon set as T213? Are you saying he was wrong in doing so? Because thats basically what im saying with him including the Cobb/Cobb in the T206 group.

I don't think Burdick got any of it wrong.
I guess I may be the thorn in the side of everyone who thinks T213-1's are T206's-please don't hate me for it -it's only my opinion.
And trust me,I highly respect all of the board members who do think T213-1's should be T206's..............so.....with that being said.............

How about this:Is there the possibility that after the first Coupon run (T213-1)that Coupon decided their first series of cards resembled T206 "too much",and therefore chose to have the 2nd and 3rd series leave "no doubt" that these were NOT T206's,but their own unique set?
I mean,if they were meant to "be" T206 cards,why didn't they keep the same structure for the second and third series(T213-2 and T213-3)?

Just food for thought.I'm sure I'll never win this one,but I can't seem to convince myself otherwise.

Back to the Cobb/Cobb:Thanks for posting that TedZ,that is very interesting.It also would be interesting do do one of those polls to see what everyone thinks about how to classify the Cobb/Cobb card.
