juliethe 80-year-old-man (this was 20 years ago), his father probably lived in one place and bought his cigarettes at the same place for a lot of his life, so
any idiocyncracies native to that place would show up on all his cards. Or, even if he didn't smoke, and was just attracted to the cards, would mooch cards off his neighbors, who, like the cards, would be the same for a lot of his life.
Or?
Mark says he knows for a fact that N162s were distributed from centers from all over the country. Keith and I probably have no idea where our cards came from. before me, mine came from 4 different states, all on the east coast (5 with no lithographer's line, 2 with one).
