These cards were promotional items for Erdal-Kwak brand shoe care products and were originally issued with coupon tabs attached on the left side of the cards as shown below.     The majority of these cards today are missing these tabs which may negatively affect their value.
 
It should be noted that some of these cards can be found with a red over-stamp on the backs of the cards (see samples below).  A rough translation of the text of the stamp is that the card is a sample image and that the real card will have the cut-off coupon tabs mentioned above.  The stamps cards are presumably  rarer than the regular cards with the tabs but I do not know if they command a premium from a collector's perspective.
