Show...me...your print variations!

Fergie's 1973 card has a thin blue line beneath the team name on some (not all) miscue cards. I presume it's some sort of alignment mark from the sheet

A couple more I noticed recently but have not seen a "corrected" copy, may be a defect throughout the entire print run.\

1972 Gary Peters #503 - grass goes into the yellow frame at bottom

1972 Duane Josephson #543 - red and blue lines through jersey underneath armpit

1973 Bobby Grich #418 -"Homers" in write up on back has almost the entirety of the "r" missing

1973 Bobby Valentine #502 - "acquired" on back is missing half of the "I"

[G1911]

1973 Topps 564 Mike Thompson - red dot on arm, blue squiggle next to it, white spot in grass, and a second little blue dot on arm by the red dot. Seems to be an all or nothing defect, not sure how scarce but definitely not common.

1973 Topps #570 Bill Singer - another questionable red oddity. The red circle behind the position logo is smeared at the top, the clouds have a clear red color to them, and his jersey has smears of red as well. I've seen a couple others like this. "dark/light" red exists on every card in every set of the era, but this one also seems to be more than the result of more or less ink during that particular sheets run. The clouds especially, as there should be no red ink in that area at all.

1972 Topps 535 Ed Brinkman - this one has a variation where Brinkman has a giraffe's neck. Just kidding, actually there is a blue dot in a white circle in the upper right by his cap. Maybe 15% of cards have it.

[G1911]

1972 Topps #766 Steve Hamilton - white slash through "C" in cap, and a red dot near the bottom. I think this one is pretty hard to locate

[G1911]

1972 #507 Fred Gladding - red dot above last "g" in "Gladding"

That's what it is, Jenkins was the middle card on the bottom row of the sheet, a perfect spot for an alignment mark.

The 73 Jenkins can also be found with black dot in left front border glove high and a blue dot on his uniform under his left wrist, the latter is pretty scarce

Never noticed those, I'm off to shop for more Fergie's!

And Hector Lopez #532 in the 1965 set can be found with a bold yellow line in bottom border - pretty common.

1970 Topps #18 Carlos May. Bright white line that can't be missed at bottom - presumably a card on the bottom row of the sheet. The placement looks like that any May card in this slot on the sheet that is even a tiny bit off center will show the line

It's not from a sheet edge.
I've only really done the first series so far, and I believe that sort of line is some kind of cutting guideline. Some are white like that, some are black or gray.
Nearly all cards in series 1 have a line of some sort, many have multiple different lines.
There are also cards that come both with and without the line.
