I have a theory. Ask yourself why there’s nothing printed on the back? Then ask yourself why some are found with glue residue?
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.
