I haven't in the past thirty or so years, but also haven't really been looking, so would not be surprised if some had shown up somewhere online.
In 1952, I opened many Bowman waxpacks, but never thought of saving the five wrappers - or parting with the princely sum of fifty cents - to purchase a cheapo baseball cap. My brother did acquire a Red Man premium cap, probably only because our old man was a heavy tobacco chewer, so clipping tabs from fifty cards was not too difficult.
