I've always thought the scrapps designation was just a descriptor and not an existent product. As in the common items of the 1880's through early 1900s of diecut sets sold for scrapbooking purposes, a huge hobby at the times. Those often embossed diecuts are called scraps or scrapps for the hobby use. Perhaps it became a mystery amalgamation of words at one point due to confusion..."These could be scrap, they could be tobacco".
That said I think you have a good point and they become one of the very early true cards if they were candy packaged. I imagine it's one of those common decisions they make on the regular that they "don't want to rock the boat" or frustrate collectors or registries by changing the name.
