I have a few aluminum and plastic ones, but I've never seen cardboard. Interesting piece.

Yrs a number of states made some tax tokens out of a pressboard material. It was cheaper than either plastic or metal ones. Its number is S18 in Malehorn and Davenport's tax token and stamp book. They attribute it to 1943-1953 unknown mintage's and done by the Label house. It is listed as extremely common.
Some claim that there are errors, but there are enough out there with the same error in printing or punching that one can say quality control was non extant. color vary also from blue-green to white depending on the quality of the board used.
There is also another token that is same design almost and made from Fiberboard
Rest in Peace

Oklahoma and Missouri were the only two states to use press board for their state issued tax tokens.
