machines
In the 80's and 90's, most card shops had these machines, and they sold a ton of cards. Also, many dealers brought the machines to card shows for people to "gamble " on.
I bought one as part of a collection several years ago and I sold it to a dealer at a card show. (Actually, I traded it to him for some 1971 Topps BB when I was putting the set together) He told me that he has a dozen machines. He doesn't do anything with them, he just likes them.

Every time I put a penny in those machines I would get a rock in return or a Joe Shlabotnik card.

Related, Williams released a baseball bat game in 1991 that had a card dispenser. It is categorised as a pinball game, although it really isn't one.

The K-Mart in Pittsfield had a card vending machine along with all the others. A much more modern 3 row model.
I only got cards from it a couple times. I think it only dispensed five cards, and damaged them - Not sure why that bugged me, the first couple years I was likely to do just as much as the machine did. Oddly, I was a bit of a fan of the huge range of stickers etc sold from the same machines a few years later. Didn't buy all that often, but would usually pick up an example or two if something looked interesting.
