What it is, is a reprint.

I don't necessarily think someone's attempting to deceive anyone, it may well be that they just don't know what they have.

I bought a set of those Cracker Jack reprints years ago. I wanted them so that I could read what was on the back of each card. While the 'reprinter' accurately reprinted what was on the originals, some of that information was incorrect.

Those reprint cards are on cardstock that is thicker than the 1915 cards, and MUCH thicker than the 1914 cards. The captions on the fronts don't look quite right on the reprints. And the reprints fluoresce when illuminated with uv light (one great test). The originals aren't as smoothly finished... there are lots of differences. If you held a real card you could easily distinguish the real from the reprint.
