The good news is that it is a 1921 D350-3 Standard Biscuit card, which is much scarcer than the 1917 card. FYI, the 1917 cards have a card number at the bottom of the front side on the card; the 1921 cards are not numbered. Also, there are 200 cards in the 1917 set, as stated on the backs of the cards; there are 80 cards in the 1921 set, as stated on the backs of the cards. I believe SGC will correct its labeling error at no cost to you.

Interestingly, this has served to remind me that I have a 1917 D350-2 Standard Biscuit card of Sam Rice that PSA has erroneously labeled as a 1916 D350-1 Standard Biscuit card, which I need to return to PSA for correction.
Thank you for that background on the Amos Strunk! That's the best good news/bad news combo I've ever received in life! I'll definitely have SGC relabel it, most likely at Strongsville or The National next year where I can drop it off to them in person.
