I have quite a few 48 bowmans and have a bit of knowledge on the set.
There is a seemingly large amount of hand cut examples out there of this issue. It is rumored that quite a few sheets may have been given to Philadelphia kids near the factory or taken from the trash. This also is rumored to be the source of the many grey background cards as well.
The hand cuts are why so many authentic Mikan rookies are out there as they are sheet cuts.
