I would need to see one in person but as noted above the production rip is correct so unless someone just Photoshopped some graphics it's likely real, there's certainly other paper inserts like this in the 1959-61 range. I can't prove it but lean toward them being more in one cent packs vs the nickels when they are made of paper. Baseball packs for this issue I'd say (obvious, right?)
The albums were offered for years, the interior pages were akin to black construction paper, some had slits to insert the cards and some didn't.

You say the albums were offered for years.... do you know the FIRST year they were offered.?
