I'm quite new to collecting and recently stumbled across this piece, and I have no clue as to what it might be. I assume it may simply be junk, but I was unable to find anything like it online and am wondering if it has any interesting purpose or history behind it. It's about 2.5 inches wide and 3 inches long, and made of a thicker sort of paper. The image on the obverse has a faint raised texture, and the reverse is blank except for faint areas of depression matching the image on the opposite side. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have one of those around here somewhere. A seller on eBay sent it to me as a bonus (no charge) for my purchase. Kinda cool, but I’m doubtful it has any value.
I bought some larger ones at the Baltimore Whitman Show. The ones I have were made the ABNCo. A couple are very intricate. I believe they're sales samples. As soon as gsalaxen sees them he'll reply w/ the answer.
The ANA had a large supply of these which they gave out freely at several conventions. It seems it was ten or more years ago. Time flies when your having fun.
