I didn't tie the card only to that particular box that appears in the REA auction. I merely pointed out that the card is just the right size to fit into a standard sized cigar box of the era (as I was told by some cigar experts).

I was simply told by them that they believe it would have been an "insert" inside the box on top of the cigars. I believe them, but others may disagree.

This is no different than the Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb back card... where people think it came in the Ty Cobb tobacco tin... but others do not.
