This lines up with release norms, implying several months between dating from the cards and actual release.

Correcting myself - it's not referring to the album, it's the poster that has the cup. Seems to imply to me some availability of the poster rather than being given to retailers for storefronts only, which would make sense. We have little to no evidence of the banners distributed for that purpose usually, but A&G posters are much much more commonly found today.
