Kind of depends on the series. Many of the E cards seem to have glue on the back but certainly not most. Just my opinion here.

Thanks I appreciate the info! I wasn't thinking gluing the cards was the norm for early collectors, but I've noticed a lot of raws (T206 especially) have huge degrees of paper loss and/or glue residue. That could be from the fact they sell cheaper and are overrepresented in the marketplace due to demand from collectors on a budget. You estimate of the percentage glued or pasted is a huge help, I appreciate!
