MANY items offered as "premiums" do not meet this general criteria and are often trade cards, team photos, etc

Thanks. I think what is shown above is really just an ad that someone kept. I use loose definitions as stated
. But your definition is obviously correct. Here is a true premium....the recently spoken about Pathe Ruth...I have to think these might have jumped in value due to other recent Ruth spikes. I am biased of course...
