It's just an older deck, that's all. The inclusion of "Original Fan Back" or "Original Circle Back" is relatively new in terms of the history of the deck. The deck is not older than about 25 years or so, and probably a bit younger than that but not by too much - I don't remember the exact date UPC codes were added to USPC decks, but I'm reasonably sure it was either late '80s or early '90s. Sticker seals came about ten years earlier, plus or minus - before that, they were moisture-activated adhesive stamps.
The newest Tally Ho decks have all that USPC fine print on them. There's a shop near my house - a fruit and vegetable stand that's open 24 hours, of all things - that sells Tally Ho brand decks. (You'll only find that happening in New York City - USPC considers Tally Ho to be a "regional" brand as opposed to a national one, and the region consists of magic shops and the city of New York. They're not wholesaled to any other area. It's similar to how Aviators are more often seen in airports than anywhere else, or Mavericks being sold predominantly in the Southern US except Florida.) Anyway, my point is that the decks were made in early 2010. The boxes still said "Ohio" on them, but they were made in Erlanger and had the black sticker seals on them rather than blue or red. If I remember correctly, it has a barcode on the left, brand name, model number and fine print on the right.
