Those are a real puzzle.

Usually that sort of thing is from the foil roll not advancing and the foiling equipment trying to apply foil that isn't there anymore.

You can sort of see where the foil panels on the sides are incomplete too.

The question though is what card the foil was put on. I'm not familiar enough with 2006 Topps to know, but the font is different, and it doesn't affetct the bottom half of the card.
