it for those who have not seen it.
I have seen both Polar Bear scrap tobacco tins and soft paper "pouches". Both contained scrap tobacco as opposed to cigarettes. In both cases, I believe that the cards were inserted directly against the tobacco.
I was once told that the Polar Bear packages contained more than one card. So, in essence, it is possible for only one card to have been in contact with the product and the others to have been protected. It also makes sense that more than one card was put into each Polar Bear package because of the size of the pouches and tins. They were much larger than the other company's tobacco packs and probably sold for much more and would, therefore, warrant more "premiums" to be included, i.e. cards.
