Miller
Huggins
|
|
(b. March 27, 1879 - d. September 25, 1929)
|
| A decent second baseman with the Reds and Cardinals,
Huggins is best remembered as the Yankee manager of
the 1920s. Standing only 5'6", he was one man able
to temper the boisterous Babe Ruth. "The Mighty Mite's"
1927 Yankees team is widely considered the best of
all time. "Hug" was 1,413-1,134 in his career, including
five seasons with mediocre Cardinal clubs. He won
six pennants and three world championships in his
12 years with the Yankees. |

Coupon Cigarettes Type 2 |
| Country: |
United States |
| Description: |
Because they feature the same photos used in the contemporary T206 tobacco set, some collectors fail to recognize the T213 Coupon set as a separate issue. Actually, the Coupon Cigarette cards make up three distinct issues, produced from 1910 to 1919 and featuring a mix of players from the major leagues, the Federal League and the Southern League. While the fronts of the Coupon cards appear to be identical to the more popular T206 series, the backs clearly identify the cards as being a product of Coupon Cigarettes and allow the collector to easily differentiate between the three types. Type I cards, produced in 1910, carry a general advertisement for Coupon "Mild" Cigarettes, while the Type II cards, issued from 1914 to 1916, contain the words "20 for 5 cents". Type III cards, issued in 1919, advertise "16 for 10 cts." Distribution of the Coupon cards was limited to the Louisiana area, making the set very obscure and difficult to checklist. Numerous variations further complicate the situation. Type I cards are considered the rarest of the Coupon issues, and, because they were printed on a thinner stock, they are especially difficult to find in top condition. Type II cards are the most common, they were printed with a "glossy" coating, making them susceptible to cracking and creasing. |
