Does anyone know any kind of information about this? I have two cards where the backs are upside down when the front is right side up. This issue is with the mini sticker backs.

Most likely a printing "flaw" or a re-stick.

If they are resticks then the two I have are VERY well done! I can see them as being "flaws". I just found this unusual.

Per baseballcardpedia: "Some of cards backs are upside-down, a tribute of the original 1914 cards as they made to fit inside a special album." I believe these are specific cards and are not variations or SPs. I have a near full set so happy to compare.

Just to add, I believe the parallels of the main set have the upside down trait as well.

I unfortunately don't have #54 but can confirm that #202 of the main set is upside down. Quite a few of the set is actually upside down.

Big fan of the set! Very quirky. I bought a hobby box from Ebay 7 years back. Came with a bag of Cracker Jack. Rock solid!

Curious as to why the quirky backsides were needed for the album. I found this online advertised for the 1915 Cracker Jack Baseball Set and cannot fathom why the backs needed to be formatted differently to accommodate the album.
