The article explains why so many T206s survived:

(1) there were a lot of them printed -- because of the demand due to kids wanting them; and

(2) adults didn't simply toss them in the garbage with the pack wrapping -- again, because kids wanted them.

So, we can thank the youth of 1909-11 for saving so many of these cards. Although, I cringed a little when I read about them "flipping" T206s.
