When a tag becomes a card.....1936 Kroger bread cards

[Cardboard Junkie]

Great cards Leon. As an aside, In 1954 Shaefer Bread actually included a pack of 54 Topps BB in their packages. I know this because 2 sons of the distributor sold me a huge stack of "pack fresh" 54s with a pile of wrappers, and that was the story. Dave. The un-wholy one was probably inside because of the get in free deal, they didn't want kids taking the passes off the packages? Make sense?

Cool cards/pics! Those cards are rarer than Leon's 1932 quarter. But not quite as rare as his 1931 quarter.

Interesting point I hadn't thought of.

Very good theory...made me wonder if the players were issued in both variations or certain players with holes and others without.

here is a Kroger Bread card Ive had for 11 years now.. cool others from this set are known now... also knowing it is a minor league issue and a bit earlier than I thought (1936) is helpful.
thanks for posting Leon

PS also noted that the card w/o the hanger hole punch and has the ticket offer is handcut on left side edge for some reason...

There are 1970s-90s product tags that at least used to be listed in the SCD catalog, including a McGregor glove tag Nolan Ryan and a Spot Bilt shoes tag George Brett. So tags as quasi-cards (or pseudo cards, depending on your opinion) is not unique.
