I see what you're talking about now, but there are actually a few different variations of this card.

I've seen many which have this same trait where Jackie's shoulder lines don't extend into the borders on each side.

Its not uncommon.

It's not off register. That card comes with those lines or without, as do most 49 Leaf cards that have portraits or bats near the border.

I did ask About the Konetchy while I was having some other cards done at a show.
It has a few small issues, one I knew about one I didn't
In general it has the nicest corners/edges I've seen. But one corner has a tiny flake of surface loss. Far smaller than the wear I've seen on other 50's.
They pointed out a very small wrinkle about halfway up the left side. One that doesn't reach the black border.

Plus the pretty obvious shift of one color.

And I think maybe some other tiny flaw.

What they said was that none of those were enough to knock it down to a 50, but cumulatively they were.

The Marshall has a paper inclusion that has caused the ink to wear off right where it is - Yes, that visible white dot. There isn't any paper loss, but I suspect they categorized the ink loss that way.

The other two.... I have no idea.
