For the Rittenhouse Rewards, when you buy packs of the cards and then send the wrappers in to RA, you accumulate points. You can then go on the website and redeem the points for exclusive autos, chase cards, bonus cards, etc. that don't come in the packs.
I remember doing that years ago to get exclusive chase cards on some of the Bond sets. For example, from what I recall, they'd do a new card which was a continuation of a particular chase set.

I still have points available from when they still had the Bond licence as I was collecting points to redeem for their Bond reward cards which unfortunately I failed to save enough although I did manage two of the cards a BG card and an auto.

Here's a "Masked Rider" promo (Bandai, 1996) for a set of Cardzillion vending machine trading cards. It was originally in a cello-pack inserted with Mutating Vehicles toys by Bandai.
It's actually one of at least four different promos - each promoting a set of vending machine cards and each having rounded corners. PCE2008 lists two of them separately (Beetleborgs and Power Rangers Zeo). Maybe 25 years ago, not knowing how lucky I was, I found the Beetleborgs one still in its cello-pack in a bargain box and got it for a dollar.
The Beetleborgs and Power Rangers Zeo cards have sold in the $10-20 range over the years but the Masked Rider goes for more - tough to find for less than $40.

Here's a local sports card show promo (Becky Strong & NSP, 1992) I stumbled upon while looking for another card last year. I hadn't seen it before. It took place in my home town so I thought it was interesting.

Here's a promo (Dan Parsons/Amryl, 2004) I hadn't seen until sometime last year. It promotes the "Harpy: Bird of Death" comic. I don't know how it was distributed but am guessing it was a show giveaway. Longtime promo collectors are familiar with the Harpy cards of the late 90's by Ground Zero Comics. A few of those have become harder to find.
PCE2008 lists another Harpy promo by Amryl from 2006 - not sure I've seen that one.

Here's another one from the 12-card Johnny Lightning "007 40th Anniversary Miniature Movie Posters" set:

The cards measure 2 1/8 x 3 1/4 inches. They are also unnumbered and have blank backs. This one was inserted with the "Red Crescent Ambulance." Unlike most Johnny Lightning cards, the cards in this series don't show the company logo on the front. These cards can be hard to find as singles because die-cast car collectors keep the packages unopened and James Bond cars are particularly popular.

Here's one of mine hanging on my wall:

I have that card too. The car packaged with the one I have is the Lotus Esprit from "For Your Eyes Only."
I see you have a Johnny Lightning Marvel package too. I opened mine.

I hardly ever open anything. I have so many Buffy & Bond Johnny Lightning cars/cards I had to put them in a big box and stuck it in a closet, which makes little sense I suppose.

Last year, I posted images of the three cards promoting "The Amy Fisher Story" (First Amendment Publishing, He Said/She Said Comics, 1993). First Amendment Publishing inserted cards with its "O.J. Simpson" comic as well so I wondered if they did cards for other comics they released.
I was able to find one more comic with cards - another 3-card set. It's "The Woody Allen Story" (He Said/She Said Comics/First Amendment Publishing, 1993). Like the Amy Fisher Story cards, none of the ones in this set provide the date, manufacturer, nor the comic title so it's no wonder they haven't been covered already in PCE.

Here's another Johnny Lightning Marvel card - a cool "The Amazing Spider-Man" cover.

Originally posted by catskilleagle: Here's a Marvel card with no obvious markings as to its origin. It was inserted with a "Johnny Lightning Marvel" die-cast toy car and part of an apparent 42-card set. These unnumbered cards feature artwork from classic Marvel Comics covers on the fronts are are blank-backed. They are slightly smaller than standard size measuring 2 3/8 x 3 1/2 inches. There are 42 cars subdivided into 4 subsets (releases) so it is assumed that there are also 42 cards.
The Johnny Lightning Marvel cards are undated but the toy packaging says "2003." Unlike most Johnny Lightning cards, they don't show the logo on the front.

Last summer, I found yet another one of these at a flea market - this one with Hank Williams Jr. It appears to be from the same set as the Leann Rimes card, neither having a facsimile signature on the front like the Alan Jackson card.

Originally posted by catskilleagle: I stopped at a flea market a couple of weeks ago and saw a card I hadn't seen before. It's an insert with Hot Country Steel die-cast toy cars (Racing Champions/Leann Rimes Entertainment, 1998). It's another set of country singer cards but this one seems small - perhaps less than ten different.
The set number is unknown but when I look elsewhere online I see two different Alan Jackson cards so there might be more than one set.

PCE2008 lists three different 4-card mini-lenticular sets (Hercules, Lion King, Flintstones) but there was another. I first heard of it from Bill Defranzo in the late 90's after the promotion was over and it might've been the first of them. This one shows the Nestle mascot, the Nesquik Bunny. Bill had a couple of cards to trade but I didn't get one. He had so many other promos that I wanted more.
Like the other Nestle cards, these Nesquik bunny cards are dual-image lenticulars that measure 1 1/2 x 2 1/4 inches. Unlike the Lion King and Hercules cards which were very popular with collectors when they were new and you could have easily built a set in the years since, many collectors were less-interested in the bunny cards and you didn't see them for sale later. I still haven't seen one of them.
I think they were originally called "Nestle Quik Bunny Magic Cards." I remember an Ebay seller offering an empty box that said a card was inside.

I have the set and a box I believe as well. I agree that these were the less popular sets of the 4 diff that were released by Nestle. But still a cool idea and promotion from Nestle. I’ll try to upload photos when I can.

3 of the Nestle Quick cards sold on ebay last month. The others show him on a roller coaster and a skateboard.
Someone has a Hercules 6 card UK lenticular set for sale, and someone else has a French lenticular for the 1999 Disney Tarzan film.

I remember that there was a 4-card set of French lenticulars for Tarzan. The cards are an odd size at 3 3/4 x 5 inches and they were attached to boxes of Chocopic cereal. Here's one that I have (don't think I have the whole set):

This card comes from the Ren & Stimpy 6-card series (Cracker Jack, undated) inserted one per box of Cracker Jack around 1992. They are unnumbered, dual-image lenticulars (aka tilt cards) that measure 1 5/16 x 1 5/16 inches composing one series of a 3-series set of Nickelodeon cards very few of which were actually prize cards, the prize being a Cracker Jack hat so most of them say "Sorry, you are not a winner,..."
A seventh card had been reported but had not been confirmed as of 1997 when the Cracker Jack price guide, "Cracker Jack Toys: The Complete Unofficial Guide for Collectors" by Larry White (Schiffer Publishing Ltd., 1997) was published.
