The idea is that if it gets lost outside somewhere, then the paper will degrade to the point that it's no longer readable. You can always get another card if you lose yours.
Not always.
The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004 (Public Law 108-458 ) limits the number of replacement SSN cards an individual may receive to 3 per year and 10 in a lifetime, beginning with cards issued on or after December 17, 2005.
So what happens when you get 10?
I read somewhere they send a denial letter. Not sure what implications that has.
