The Brits always took better care of their cards then us. In the 1990's I was buying up tons of 1920's-30's sports and non-sports sets from England and they were almost always absolutely pristine.
When we were putting our cards in bicycle spokes and playing flippsies or knockdowns, they were either putting them in the custom albums that were produced for many of the sets, or wrapping them in wax paper and putting them away.
