A few of the team cards say they were included in 5-cent packages of Bishop's Chocolate, Nut Bar, and Almond Bar.
Thanks for showing this Rhett, it is very cool. How big is it? It doesn't look like it could hold an E221. E221s come with a fold down the middle. I have only seen 1 E221 that was folded multiple times, and that is currently in Leon's collection. I don't think we can know if that was folded at the factory or afterwards.
