Lets see some tab/coupon/redemption cards

With the group of 1916 Fleischmanns that recently went up for auction, it got me thinking about sets that were issued with tabs, coupons and cards issued as redemption pieces themselves. I don't currently own any myself but the subject I think is interesting.

This bread card, or one with special wording on it like this, was used as admittance to get into Perry Stadium in 1936, if you were a boy or girl 16 yrs old or younger...

I heard kids would bring in 30 or more of these coupons at a time to the Collins McCarthy candy shop to get a glove or ball or the like

So what's stopping you from collecting them?
Tabless versions of tabbed cards can be fun and inexpensive to collect...

I'm a really big fan of the tabbed examples. I've been working on putting a few of these together in my collection over the past five years. Here are three that are current faves:

Gotta love the red!



The one-legged version of Gilly Campbell, featured on both his 1931 and 1932 Zeenut cards:



And then this one, with a coupon lacking an expiry date, featuring a player built like a Truck:
