Doh. I did not look at it from a series perspective. This makes sense.
Now please tell us more about the Hickman card. 
As to the checklists, at that time checklists were typically printed as part of the prior series, and would then be printed again with the subject series. Multiple printings across more than 1 series creates opportunities for minor set-up issues - copyright alignment, card number alignment, the placement of check boxes relative to numbers and names, minor inking changes, etc. Such variations are seen with most checklist cards from 1972 back through their debut in 1961. Hard to say whether any variation is an 'error' per se. |
I see. I agree that the multiple setups/printing increased the chance of mistakes.
Thank you for sharing!
