Just an observation I’ve had about some fatboy cases. In the back slot sometimes I’ve seen a piece of cardboard and it can even be seen on some examples online. Is this from some piece from the original wrapper? Don’t see enough NOS examples to know.
What’s with the cardboard in Fatboy cases?

I've looked and can't figure out what you mean. Do you have a pic we could see to help?
All I can figure is that you're talking about the folded up instructions included with the razor.

Stealing this from an active auction so just posting the image. Have had a couple where it’s tucked in there
Interesting. I have several cased Fatboys and none of them have that. The white insert comes out and goes in quite easily, so I can't imagine why it would be there except for the possibility that these were sold originally on a "card" with several razors attached, that would sit on a sellers countertop. The flaps went into that slot to hold them in place, and sellers or buyers in a rush may have ripped the cardboard in the presentation board while taking a razor off of the display.
I've seen those display boards frequently, but I can't seem to find a pic right now.
I'll keep looking.
This is all I can find at the moment, but a similar situation. You get the idea.

I was thinking something similar, just haven’t actually seen what it is. I’ve had two Fatboy cases with it and there is always a couple with it on sale on eBay
They were also sold in blister packs, and with various "bonus" items, such as books etc. Another likely source.
I have one with this. Just part of the original packaging. Most people remove it when they clean the case, I like having it there.
I had it in one of my Fatboy cases and tossed it thinking it was just trash.
