That's something I hadn't really noticed before.
The Lasorda is probably the most extreme that I've seen...there are a few that bleed over but not to the degree of the Lasorda...these are examples in just the first 20 cards!



Interestingly, the Topps Archives version of the Lasorda card is cropped a bit differently (no bleeding in to the border)...here's a link to one.
