Default 1914 Cracker Jacks

I think just about everyone at this point, 1914 CJ collectors or otherwise, have pretty much gotten tired of talking about and hearing about this set. It's very popular and very cool, and I'm sure most agree. But I'd really like to hear the opinions of all the learned vintage card gurus that make this site so critical and important to the hobby: What is with the low pops? Should we think 95% of the cards got thrown out right away? (And I'm sure the card backs are lying about numbers to begin with). Or is it a case where the cards were only packaged for a month or two as prizes, thus very limited? Single prints and double prints happening as well? I know there are no sure answers, but with a set that was allegedly distributed nationally, why do only 50 or so, on average, exist for each card? What is going on there?
