Hey guys,
Jackie's portrait is slightly shifted to the RIGHT, resulting in that skinny yellow sliver along his right shoulder. Ditto for the Wagner card. The Yellow ink was one of the 1st colors printed
on these cards (in the 4-color process).
I've seen this effect on a number of these 1949 LEAF BB cards. This is not a variation, but simply a printing anomaly.
