Agree 100%, and believe the vast majority of high grade cigarette cards have been enhanced in some way.
And it goes far beyond the cigarette packs. What 9-year-old in 1910 kept these cards in pristine condition? Sure, a few outliers have been preserved over the years, but that number should be small, not what we see for sale today. Frankly, the number of high grade cards is ludicrous. But it hasn't stopped world's records from being set regularly.

I have to agree Ted. I can't imagine a card back then being printed and cut to PSA 9 specs, then being put in a pack, shipped, unpacked, sold, pulled from the pack and kept in such nice shape all these years. Kids weren't concerned about keeping these cards mint. I just don't buy it.
