Default Spelling 101

I have always liked a couple of typographical error cards in my collection. The E220 National Caramel card of Jim Bagby has his name spelled Bagbyk, which certainly is different from the typical spelling mistake...not sure how this one got past quality control.

The other two cards pictured are Zeenuts of George Wisterzil. I like the fact that he had four Zeenuts issued (1918, 1919, 1920 and 1922), and his name is spelled three different ways--Wisterzill, Westerzil, and Westersil--none of which are correct.
