Jeff & John- It has always been my understanding that most/many strip cards were a product of the old penny scales that were on most streets across the country.
As a young boy back in the 1950s and 60s they were on our downtown streets, put a penny in, the scale would move and out would pop a photo of an actor or your fortune?
Please don't take this as gospel but back in the 1970s in the hobby publications this was discussed quite often.
