Default Dumb question on E98 "Old Put Cigars"

I'm sure that this may be a stupid question, but why are the "Old Puts" considered an ultra-rare subset, rather than just examples of E98's with a back stamp on them? Is there anything in the E98 back checklist that differs from a normal non-stamped E98 reverse? Is there evidence that these cards were issued in packages of Old Put cigars? Does anyone have an example of an actual "Old Put Cigar" package?

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
