I always wondered about the Tango Egg cards and thought it strange how they popped up all at once. Presumably the cardboard dates properly etc. so it's a matter of how the hoard survived. I found Mr Mint's ad from 1992 in SCD in my vertical files and it mentions quantities of 5-12 cards each of 13 different players. Maybe it was a box of salesman's samples? Lew Lipset confirmed these quantities for the most part in TOJ #44 and notes Sotheby's might have bought many of them. My trail goes cold after that. Maybe David Kohler knows?
