+1 Thanks Henry.
It is awesome what comes out in some of our threads from generous collectors.

That is really cool, another new certificate, sharing much of the same information as my newest pick-up. Thank you for sharing, I love it.

Joe, just checked my coupon accumulation and have a copy of both 1889 Type 2 Type 3 w/ the orange front and blue backs but one with the dates and without. At least that is what I think you are calling the two I have.

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.

Thanks for the updated info, Joe. And thanks again to those who chimed in.

Yet another new coupon has surfaced and it is a beauty dating to 1888. The new coupon, below, is the first I've seen that appears to be directed to a specific geographic area. As you can see, the coupon is directed to Goodwin's west coast agents, Mr. Mau, Sadler & Company, complete with a San Francisco address if you wish to order an album. The coupon is very similar to the more generic 1888 coupon, both advertising the two albums available in 1888 with a 75 certificate requirement. This coupon may have been packaged in a Gypsy Queen pack (popular on west coast) with either an N162 or, perhaps, an 1888 California League GQ.

Here are the four 1888 coupons known to me (Floral Album coupon does have an upside down back):

Here are the three 1889 coupons known to me:

I'm sure there are more to discover, would still like to find an 1888 example that mentions baseball cabinets.

Awesome, Joe! Love seeing unknown Goodwin stuff almost 130 years after the fact!
