The data base has a 66a and 66b.   One is an error, one is corrected.   It is the team names, Cleveland and Philadelphia.   The data base has both team names as Cleveland.   I didnt want to arbitrarily add the Philadelphia I had as either the error or corrected until someone could tell me definitely which is which.  Ebay is all over the place with these as well.   Seems as though no one knows.    Thanks.

That depends which year they are reprinting. The 1914 Cracker Jack card has Cleveland Naps as his team. The 1915 Cracker Jack card has Philadelphia Athletics.  Both cards are correct for the year they were issued.  Are the 2004 reprints actually an ERR and COR or are they each a variation depicting the 1914 and 1915 issues?

I also notice that many of the images in the 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jack look like reprints. The colors are way too bright and white.

 Yes, it seems that neither is an error.   One is from 1914 the other from 1915.   They used the same picture for both years.   I will jam mine in there somewhere, with the Philadelphia name just to get it in.   We have the same problem with #55 Dick Hoblitzel.    One with the "error" is actually from 1914, the corrected is from 1915.     In both cases, they are from different years, and not errors within the same year.

Then they are VARiations.
