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.

I've seen the line on some others, but the uncut sheets I've seen only had printing marks along the four edges, not between every row. I'd always assumed these were the cards on the border, and the cutting mark was only placed there. If it was under every row, any card even slightly off-center top/bottom would show this line, looking at where it is placed on this card?

Yes, top and bottom. It may not be very card, but it's pretty close. I need to either find my list or rewrite it so I can post it. I was working on the first series for a while, but didn't really keep after it.

I don’t doubt they can be found on near every card. If the line is between every row on the sheet, then any copy of any card that is off center top to bottom would show the line. Most top to bottom off center cards don’t show the line however, so I think this line was not on all the sheets between every row. Otherwise, all these off center cards would have them in the same location

That is correct. They usually don't show on well centered cards. And they aren't on every sheet. And the line can be different, so it changed at times. (I also had consistent copies of several of the lines, so if there are two different lines that's a genuine difference.
