Also if you look at authenticated Uncle jack packs the coupon is on the outside of the package. It seems the pack you posted is a fake...again I bow to your thorough research.

Again you are wrong. I own the piece in the scan, and can assure you that there are two sticks. The point is obvious-- no one seriously would maintain that one piece of gum cracked so perfectly right down the middle. If you spent any time collecting or researching these, you would know that. Look at any decent auction site archives and you will see that the coupon and/or back of player card are often stained with an outline showing two pieces. Here's one on ebay now:
Edited to add: From the OC website: "The cards were distributed in a glassine (semi-transparent wax paper) wrapper along with two sticks of gum and a coupon." See https://oldcardboard.com//eNews/2014...eNews124.htm#2
