Hard to imagine a card being inserted into a pack of cigarettes which is then boxed & loaded & shipped in a rickety truck/train, placed onto a convenient store shelf by a stock boy, handled by a customer, opened by a smoker, the card tossed aside and likely handled by a kid, all in the cards first couple months of existence and looking anything close to as mint as that card looks. Not to mention surviving the NEXT 100 years.
