Leon, you could very well be right. I just always figured that they were shipped the same way that other oversized cards, such as T3's, were shipped. It just seems like the extra expense of a box along with the additional postage would not have made sense for a premium that they were charging very little for.
In the later years, the Sporting Life sold the cabinets directly for six cents each or a dozen for 50 cents. No coupon was required. Maybe the box was for the dozen card orders.
