t213 coupon cigarettes


PictureType 1 back
There is an awful lot of confusion concerning these cards among hobbyists due to the fact that they were issued in three different distinct series (each one several years apart) and used the same images that were used for the T206 set. As a result, T213 Coupon cards are sometimes mistakenly called T206 cards even though their front designs are slightly different.

There were three series issued between 1910 and 1919. The first series was made in 1910. A second series followed between 1914 and 1916, and a third set appeared in 1919. The cards were printed by the American Lithographic Company in New York City and then shipped to the Coupon factory in New Orleans where they were inserted into Coupon cigarette packages. Coupon cigarettes were manufactured by the W.R. Irby branch of Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company.

Card fronts have a lithograph of a player surrounded by a white border. Below the picture is the player's last name and team city, and a league if necessary. First series cards have the text in brown ink, while the other two series use blue ink. The cards can be easily distinguished by the back advertisements: Type 1 backs feature a generic advertisement for Coupon cigarettes, Type 2 mentions 20 cigarettes for five cents and Type 3 mentions 16 cigarettes for 10 cents.

Type 1 cards are printed on thin cardboard. Type 2 & 3 are printed on the standard cardboard (same as all the other white-border type cards). Type 1 cards are the toughest of the three series. Type 2 is the largest series, and Type 3 features a rare variation with a Factory 8 overprint (the regular cards have a Factory 3 designation).
