It's a mystery to me as well, but I think the idea was to fold the card into quarters rather than in half. If you fold in the end panels and then fold the card in half, you've reduced it down to a size similar to just one of the end panels (a quadruple folder?). Then you could more easily stack them with all your other tobacco baseball cards (T205, T206, T207, etc) and not have the odd sized T202s sticking out.
Just a guess. It makes me cringe just thinking about it!
