Do we know the manner in which R315s were distributed? I see where they are often found in three-card strips, but can it be said with high probability that this was the way they made it to the end consumer, and this was the only way? Seems to me that much more often than not these are found with straight and not wavy edges. One might guess that if the only way these were obtained was in strips then they would be mostly hand-cut if not butchered by collectors ala the strip cards of the early 1920s.
