Nice looking square Colgans. They are anything but proofs. That's about all I know..

Just how common are these? I have one (marked as a proof by SGC), but I know that theory has been debunked. Could they be sales samples of some kind, or tied to a different product all together?
Without any other stamps or advertising on them I realize it makes it really difficult to determine. Great cards! Bill |

My theory is that these were some type of premium that were intended to be glued into an album. Probably something made by Colgan’s. Maybe it was only intended for the retailer and not public consumption…or maybe it was? Either way, I think that idea makes the most sense. No one seems to have proof that they came in retail packaging, so perhaps it was a vendor-only offering? One day, I feel an album with turn up. |
