I believe that this is true & nearest to what history would have us to logically believe. The paper drives for the World Wars were nation wide & done with such prideful detail. Thus, the reason for "Finds" today! Upholstered into the backs of chairs, Hidden Farm House Walls, Trunks in Ranch Lofts & Finally... GranPa's Attic ;-)
They have turned uP iN So many odd places...
Many of the cards were treasured and hidden by many of our Father's Father's... They were the 1st line of the preservation act to which began & eventually became the "Collector's Age".
I believe that for the most part... It is some what of Brilliant Feat! To of made it past the paper drives of the Wars past... We are not just Collector's... We are Currier's & Preserver's of the Future of this Hobby...
