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.

Thanks.

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.

These 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.
