Default Let's talk Tango Eggs

A smallish set (22 known) from 1916 that doesn't seem to get too much hype. I've been thinking about the condition of the majority of the cards I've seen and it's making me wonder if they were actually distributed or not.

I haven't been around the hobby as long as some of you guys, but I can't remember seeing a poor example of a Tango Eggs card. It seems as though most of them have pretty sharp corners and no creases. I also don't recall ever seeing one with back damage indicating that it was removed from a scrapbook.

I've picked up 3 examples so far:
Jennings SGC 84
Weaver SGC 80
Bescher PSA 6

Currently on ebay:
Weaver PSA 4
Bescher SGC 80
Chase PSA 7
Dooin PSA 8
Bescher PSA 7

If these cards were actually distributed then it makes me wonder why the vast majority are in such good condition.

Thoughts?
