A bit early for lamination but there was lots of aerodynamic experimentation with Zeenuts. Waxing a card was one form of cheating at Zeenut card flipping [or 'shooting'] to make them easier to manipulate when trying to lean them against a wall or stoop. A kid could also roll a card to put a camber into it for more control. Last but not least, kids also rounded the edges down to get a smoother flight path. I suspect that's what happned to Lefty:
