I enjoy premiums from the Billy Taub clothing stores. He was quite a star-chaser in NY at the time and had all sorts of events with premiums made from them. The most famous is the Graphic All Sports Dinner display piece that was also made into a postcard:



Taub did issue a number of other premiums like this one:



The boxer Benny Leonard owned a piece of the business, so it was probably that connection with the lightweight champ that helped pave the way into the athletic circles.

Here's another ticket from the LA street cars. This one shows Joe Louis in a 1935 fight that took place at LA's Wrigley Field:

I was always happy to have the Home Run Baker National Game card with the Fenway Breweries overprint.

But then when I found the National Game box variation which had the Fenway Breweries promotional sticker overlaid on the outside of the box, I knew I had to have it. Neat ancillary piece (and we just never get to use the word 'ancillary' enough - thanks Leon!).....
