As a side bar to this thread, I would like to hear some of those with knowledge of this set to weigh in on whether they believe some T202s were folded, and then folded again (all at the factory), thereby creating the "perfect" creases down the center of the card that we sometimes see. I also believe some cards are notched in the center which lends further credence to this theory.
I've always been curious about this and it seems that this would be logical for packaging in a slide and shell box or small cigarette configuration. To the best of my knowledge, however, Hassan never produced a slide and shell.
