Complete sets were issued in envelopes and often are found still in them in almost untouched condition.

Would you say 95% of them are that way?

I'd personally say no. Especially with the Indians issues. I've only seen a handful of sets, while a simple ebay search(completed listings as well) will show a good amount of single Satchels. I believe alot more of these were broken up for individual sale, as they contain rookies(depending on your views) of Satchel, Lemon, Doby along with a bunch of other stars. Individually these sets are worth a lot more broken up, especially considering that most Satchels are way overpriced, often times sold(or attempted to sell) at what the whole set can be had for.

As a kid in the late 1940's, I acquired my picture packs at Yankee Stadium. The Dodgers and Giants picture packs were given to me by neighbors (who got
them at Ebbets Field or the Polo Grounds).

I can't speak for the Indians picture pack, as I acquired mine back in 1989. So, to answer your question....I do not recall seeing any cardboard versions like
yours. Perhaps, Frank Ward will chime in here, he is quite knowledgeable on such stuff.

Here are some more of my pictures with associated BB cards.

These pictures were the first BB player images in the post-WWII era....and, served as source pictures for the 1947 Bond Bread cards, 1948 Blue Tint cards,
and, 1949 & 1950 Bowman cards.
