As I recall, the unopened packs are game pieces consisting of two cards facing each other with a perforated border around them. They have the baseball scene on one outer side and the rules on the other outer side and open into the two cards. That is why the cards are often found with glue damage on a border or two, from the sealer spilling over from the pack edges into the cards. The pops of the art or rule backs should be roughly equal since one of each formed each 'pack.' The Special Gift Award card was redeemable for a booklet of statistics, so it is a short print as well.
