Appease me, please....one more time T206/T213/T215?

[barrysloate]

Just to digress for a moment, I've never believed that Burdick's checklist was sacrosanct and couldn't be amended as new information became available. Burdick's cataloguing of insert cards was monumental and is surely one of the cornerstones of our hobby. But I'm sure if he were alive today he would say it is inevitable that some changes to his work would be needed over time.

Just look at the page Leon provided. Hustler is listed as a T206, Hindu was not known as a T205, and Red Cross was not known as a T207. We all readily accept that these were errors or omissions that needed updating. So why is it impossible to look at his cataloguing of T213 and say there might be an error there too?

Regardless of which side of the argument you are on here, I do not think in any way we have to look at Burdick's work as a finished product. Heck, our own Constitution has been amended a few dozen times. Why can't the ACC likewise be tweaked a little?

Barry,

I also noticed Hustler in the ACC T206 list Leon posted , but I'm unfamiliar with it. Could you explain what it is, please?

Also in the list is the Ty Cobb back.

And Burdick counts 522 T206, whereas now we have 524. One of the additional two is the Joe Doyle. Is the other the Magie?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Craig

Craig,

Hustler is a tobacco brand that appears on certain non-baseball cigarette cards, but no T206 pose is known with that back.

In my view, Tim has offered the only persuasive rationale for non-inclusion. He has identified a printing rule for the coupons that is different from all other t206 issues. Whether that leads you away from t206 or not, it is at least a concrete rationale. Tim's argument would be determinative if all t206 print runs adhered to the same schedule. Or did they? Is the wide net cast by Burdick large enough to encompass the manner in which coupons were printed in 1910?

Barry & Tim,

Thanks for the info regarding the Hustler back ... I just went back to rerun my search and realized I had transposed the "s" and the "t" the first time which is why I didn't get any hits

Thanks again and best regards,
Craig

I was reading a webpage called Tobacco Timeline http://www.tobacco.org/resources/his...story20-1.html
and it shows that ATC was broken up in 1911, and some of the tobacco companies, including Coupon, were awarded to Ligget and Myers.

Could it be that the Type 1's were printed by ATC and should be included in the T206 set and the Type 2's and 3's were printed by L&M and should be a separate issue?

Just a thought.

All these cards were printed by American Litho. (New York City) and then shipped to the Tobacco factories.
The main L & M plant (Factory #42) in Durham, NC did not print these cards.

Otherwise everything you said is true.

Craig,

Here's a thread on the Hustler back with some nice scans.
