Todd-For one person to get enough cards for all the uniforms would have been very tough, but it could have been a team project. They could have had drives to outfit the local youth team. With 10+ families working together, maybe consuming a loaf of bread every day or every other day, and assuming not a lot of duplication, it could be accomplished. This says a lot about why the cards are so scarce.

Thanks for posting one, Rob! Great to see these cards. I wouldn't mind picking one up if someone wants to sell or drops me a line. That's not why I posted this but thought I'd throw it out there.
I agree that it seems they were only in the dime loaf and not the nickel loaf. That could certainly account for some of the rarity. Todd, I'd love to see that "circular" as well. People save a little of everything so who knows, maybe some day. I grew up in DC, so I'll start asking my old friends to check their attics

Thanks for showing those again Brian. You've posted them before, and I never get tired of seeing them--envious yes, tired no. You can even feel free to e-mail me hi-res scans if you like
 One thing I noticed is that each of yours seems to have light stamping on the back-- an "H" in one spot and what just might be part of the ampersand and letters like those from the Holmes & Son ad I posted. I am among the world's worst at photo-shopping and enhancing/contrasting images, but the Roush especially seems to have what could be read as "MES & SON" diagonally downward across the back. Maybe someone with the proper skills can get us a better look at that. If there is such a stamp, this would seem to confirm that the cards were redeemed. It also would appear that even if redeemed, they may have been stamped and returned to the customer.
