Let's not forget, it was still almost 50 years after the printing of T206s that Sy Berger supposedly dumped thousands of unsold 1952 Topps cards into the Hudson river because he couldn’t think of anything better to do with them. So even a company, who’s business was baseball cards, saw them as disposal and and almost worthless property 50 years later. I can’t imagine ALC or American Tobacco Company saw much value in retaining anything pertaining to cards.
