Leon: Do you have any idea how those cards could have been printed in error twice? Since the backs required two separate printings - one for the black lettering and one for the red, which can be seen by the spacing variation of the large red "Baseball" line, how or why did some press operator double down on the mistake? Or, maybe the two separate print applications actually followed each other in an automatic process? Interesting to speculate about.
