Correct, the ones with the red overprint on front are pasted onto heavier cardboard stock, with about a quarter inch border around the "card" itself. And yes, the regular ones are paper thin. I am only guessing at their distribution method. Hopefully we can find some definitive evidence as to their way of being handed out.
