What the two cards show is that both the corrected version and the uncorrected one were in the same position on the sheet. So either they made a whole new brown plate to fix the mistake or stoned the nat'l off. The second is the simplest explanation.

The mark on the back will be on every card from the same position on a Piedmont sheet as long as it was produced after the mark got on the plate. Since the error has it it was probably there from the start.

What's cool/important about that is that there will be other players with the same mark. And that means they would be from a different front layout.

Pat has done a tremendous amount of work spotting and documenting these marks.
