The cards don’t state if the newsboys had to turn over the cards upon completing a set to receive $1, but if so, they could easily have been simply discarded by the company."

I've never seen one before in person. Have any "cancelled" cards ever shown up like the 1933 George C. Miller cards?

Great cards Ryan and Phil!

Here's another common from this uncommon set.

Hi David. I've never seen or heard of a cancelled Newsboys card. I'd love to hear if anyone ever has.

+1. I have never seen anything cancelled or stamped redeemed or anything. Often redeemed cards have wholes punched in them; I have never seen a whole punched newsboy

Hope they didn't have to ride all the way up to Coney Island from Baltimore in that thing!

(p.s. Good to see you posting Richard, hope all is well!)

I count 41 heads on that wagon. Also, because of the photo, it is neat to have such a narrow time frame of when these cards were likely issued (June + July of 1911).

My guess is that they didn't cancel or destroy them, they just put them back into packs. Totally speculative, but it fits in with the prize being only to the first 35.
