1916 Zeenut Horstman
What is the deal with this Horstman card. It looks like a 1916 with the blue background , but it states 1915 on the front. I was the underbidder because I'm trying to collect the 1916's, but they never come up for sale. Do all 1916 format Horstman's state 1915 on the front? Any help is appreciated...

I was an underbidder as well. Can't explain the discrepancy but it is a 1916. Never noticed it before. Maybe Andrew can chime in.

The card is a 1916. All Horstman's have the date incorrect on front as "1915"...
 In addition, the Larsen and Ryan are also mistakes as they have "191" and "1915" as the dates, respectively. -Rhett

As Rhett indicated, all 1916 Horstman cards were printed with "1915" on the front. Anyone have ideas why this mistake was made on every known card? As far as mistakes go, it is a strange mistake to end up in the final print run. Mark might have some insight on this. Much (most?) of the Zeenut printing process remains a mystery.

Simply a typesetting error
Zeenuts are a fascinating and fun series to collect, but you learn along the way to expect numerous anomalies. There are several typesetting errors, players names are misspelled or completely misidentified, and team attribution errors. Very few of the errors were corrected, at least in the same year (Eddie Matteson / Matterson in 1920 is an example of a correction). This is a series that you can spend a long time, in my case going on 42 years, and still not fully understand the complexities of the set. Is it possible that the Horstman error was corrected...Absolutely. It just has not been discovered by modern collectors...yet

Thanks. So, now I know that if I see a 1916 Horstman with 1916 on the front, I should be prepared to bid accordingly. BTW I just realized that I was the 3rd underbidder, not the underbidder, on the ebay lot.
