Any estimates of how many of these cards were printed ? Only 2 known to exist now ? Has anyone traced how the owner before the current owner obtained the card ?
I always wonder, why a company would hired a photographer and studio, print a card , insert into cigarette packs , and then only print a few of them. Seems like a lot of expensive to print only a few sheets.

Someone once estimated that 1 out of 20 T206 cards printed, still survive. Don't remember how they came up with those numbers, but there was a reason. Old Judge cards were printed 20 years earlier, so I wouldn't be surprised if the % of OJ cards left is even less than 5%. Many of them were thrown out the day they were bought.
