Default 1929 Babe Ruth “Star Picture Stamps” Exhibit Coupon Back

A 1929 Babe Ruth “Star Picture Stamps” Exhibit was recently sold on ebay here: Link. I was not the winner of this card, and I've attached front and back scans. This card has a coupon back on it, which I have never seen before. Has anyone else seen one of these before?

Typically, this card has a postcard back. Here's an example: Postcard Example

The coupon back normally does not appear until the 1931-32 Ruth Portrait Exhibit. Here is an example of a coupon back: Coupon Example. And here is an example of this card with a postcard back: Postcard Example. The regular 1931-32 Exhibits also have coupon backs: Link.

Does anyone know how why this card was dated to 1929? Perhaps, it should be dated to 1929-31 or even 1931-32 like the other Coupon back Exhibits.
