It doesn't affect the white outline of the box at all, but it seems to go hand in hand with the darkened area of dirt in that same area...

#698 Tom Tresh is the counterpart to the Santo, they were side by side on the sheet.

Here's a recurring defect I found looking through my dad's cards, where the text is repeated. I also found a Harmon Wages (also a Falcon) with a similar variation, though not as pronounced.

Neat one John. You would have to be sober to see it 😊

Well, I got two more to chase down to finish this set now! Thank you for these

The Santo was the final card I needed 25 years ago when I completed my set - I always thought I had one with a unique stain on it, but I guess not - and it is interesting that it doesn't obscure the white border at all. I checked and sure enough my Tresh is similarly stained.
