Littering may account for the many brands
Being originally from Maine, this posting caught my eye. I have not read all (at this point) 66 replies but a recurring theme already seems to doubt how one person could "smoke" all those brands.
About 35 years ago my great uncle (born 1901) recounted how in his day he would observe cards discarded from time to time. My guess is, the original collector accumulated them himself but not always by buying the packs. In some cases at least he simply picked up discarded cards or empty packs still containing cards.
