I had the strangest experience the other day, bought a Pathward/InComm Vanilla card and only after I left did I realize there was a sticker over the bar code, but the (original) printing goes right over it! At first I thought I had fallen victim to fraud like when the scammers insert a slip of paper for a completely different card, but the card showed as loaded, and at the 1 hr mark I could spend down all of it immediately. Maybe this is actually a case of old card stock being re-used at the factory...
