Had not seen that defect before and do not know if it is recurring. If it is I guess from what you and John have observed it is scarce. I think in the never ending variations thread a similar defect ( filled in A) was posted for a 60 or maybe 61 Koufax card.
Were they early errors that were quickly corrected or just a limited print defects ? Who will ever know. I lean towards the latter. Some feel variations should be limited to intentional changes in a card, but the hobby certainly recognizes as variations many differences that seem to just be recurring print defects
Neat find, especially given all the already known variants to that card. Thanks for posting it
