T206's thrown away back in the day?
My guess is that more cards are thrown away today. Back then, baseball was extremely popular, and children couldn't go to their neighborhood store and buy packs of cards. In the 1980's I was fortunate to make a number of trades with a man who was an enterprising young boy when t201 - t206 cards were produced. He told me that many men, after a day's work, would stop at their neighborhood store and buy one or two cigarettes before going home. They couldn't afford to buy the pack. The shopkeeper would save the cards for him. I suspect this was common. If the cards were thrown away, it was years later.
