Player collectors, do you collect newspaper giveaway cards?

The New York Daily News has done several inserts and posters. This is the only insert I have:

I've got one of the full page posters they did, but it's folded up somewhere and I don't remember which one it is (there have been at least two of Winfield).

Love the newspaper "cards". Wish they were better documented. I have a variety of different issues, although most are not of my player collector subject at all, but I take any of them when i can find them at a reasonable price.

Exactly what this thread is about. Those are awesome! Would love to have one for a type. Hubbard would be my pick, as he was once a Dodger too.

I don't know if these are considered cards but they came in the newspaper to cut and stamp:

Nice - thanks for sharing. Never knew the dates so maybe now I'll be able to track the full page down someday. Where'd you get the scan?

Thanks for crediting me on the Zim scan.
