Awesome question. It would be neat to see a Lajoie as delivered, paper clip and all. I would think some opened up the envelope, checked out the card, then put it back in the envelope to be forgotten about. On the other hand, these cards were mostly requested by serious collectors of the set with a missing hole. When it was received, it was more often that not probably put with rest of the cards to complete the set, then the letter was tossed.
It's interesting that the Lajoie has more PSA 9 examples than any other card in the set. There are several logical reasons for this, but maybe one or two were left in the envelope with the letter.
