It’s a good question guys. When I first got into collecting packs,
One theory was that the stiffer cardboard tore the packs more easily, so they used a thinner stock. Doubt we’ll ever know. When I came across a 10-count slide and shell that dated to the 1910s, I felt pretty comfortable it was a proper pack, but I always wanted to add the soft pack, too, in case the theory ever holds true.
