Thanks - I've done a quick ebay and google image check and this does seem to be a consistent feature. It's the first time I've heard of it - usually its the white line on the front and yellow coloring on the back. Wondering if anyone else on these boards has information as to whether or not this might be 100% foolproof?

Not sure if it's 100% foolproof, but both MB Ryan's I have have the black blotch inside the T (near the base), and first I've heard of it as well.

FWIW, you won't see the white line on well centered cards MB baseball cards. Likewise on well center '67 FB or hot rod cards, you won't see the burlap.
