That's a great point Dave. Here is another example from a Robert Edwards auction. Granted, this doesn't seem to be as strong of a print, but it is missing some of those same print anomalies like the extra 'comma-like' mark after the period following '1899' . It's very possible your example came from the same plate as this sheet.
One other consideration is that there are 3 known back variations of the Frank Craig card in the Ogden's reference guide. This sheet has the 'Packets Ogden's' instead of 'Packets of Ogden's'. That seems like an error that would have been corrected in later runs.
