The Goodwin coupons are much tougher than the regular A&G, Duke, and Kinney coupons, now I know of a few more to add to the wantlist!

That would be correct Rhett, the 1889 type 2 & 3 certificates have the same orange N173 redemption details on front but have different album redemption details on the blue back. Type 2 lists the availability date for the "Sports and Games" and "Base Ball" albums while type 3 has no dates (presumably due to being issued after the albums were available).

So we now have 3 known 1888 certificates and 3 known 1889 certificates. Interesting similarities between all the 1888 tickets/certificates including the script "Goodwin & Co." and no mention of cabinet cards (although I believe such certificates were issued in 1888). All the 1889 certificates mention cabinets on one side, albums on the other.

So here we have the updated 1888 tickets/certificates followed by the 1889 certificates and the summary.
