One of my favorite issues. None of the thinner paper stock series (type-3's or VE's) I have seen have a factory number. I don't know if they were handcut or not because all of them I have seen, including the ones I own and have owned, are in fr-pr shape with very well rounded corners. Can't say I am sure they were handcut but it's possible. Don't know if they were issued in cigarettes but have no reason to believe they weren't. None of the T217's I have, or have had, had factory numbers either. As for the factory number stamps on the back of T cards my guess (only a guess) would be they were still put in packs......regards
