Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>me to her once-a-year Bsaeball Extravaganza in her luxury suite at the Coleseum this afternoon--and the As won with their #5 pitcher going all the way. She brought a lot of her (almost complete) T206 set for me to look at, and wanted me to post the back of her pink Chase.<br /><br />If you can't read the purple type, it says "GOOD FOR ONE DRINK":<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/jphotos/HalChaseBack.jpg"> <br /><br />We both thought it was funny, and were both surprised that the card had nt seen more wear! (it's a PSA 4 (MK))

Posted By: <b>Damian Anderson</b><p>That is really cool, Julie! Wonder how it came about and if what ever establishment (saloon) decided to use it for a promotion if they just used T206's. Are they more cards like this? The speculation is endless. Fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing. Yes the "MK" is a qualifier. Qualified as a neat piece of history.<br /><br />Damian

Posted By: <b>Damian Anderson</b><p>I was hoping to see others thoughts on Julie's post. I really think this is interesting. Maybe this post just got buried. Thoughts?<br /><br />Damian

Posted By: <b>andy becker</b><p>actually, i don't think this was an uncommon practice for the era....though i've never seen a stamped back with the promotion. example...in the mid '30's the national chicle football cards were used for addmission to the movies. most were cancelled with a hole punch. <br />similar.
