I don't beg to differ but would be curious as to view of Adam or other Exhibit experts on the question of whether vintage Exhibits were intended for collection. It would seem that those with postcard backs were intended for mailing. I should think the same as to those with blank backs but I sure don't know. And, those with redemption backs were presumably intended to be cut up for coupons. If so, then I guess those with combination redemption/postcard backs were intended to be used for either purpose but, again, not as a collectible. Frankly, I think the cards are pretty neat and can't imagine anyone mailing them or cutting them up, but then again I wasn't around in the 30s. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Mark
