Odoms is the first card on the row and Elmo Wright is to his right, the line barely goes into Wright and then stops. I don't think it is a cutting suggestion line, those lines were prevalent on Topps sheets in the 60's-70's when they would fuse together two different sections of rows on a sheet. The line can also be found on the bottom of 1974 OJ Simpson Record Breaker and the Dolphin to his right.

Thank you. The 4th card Dolphin is #365 Manny Fernandez, looks like I got 3 more to go get. Why does it have to be OJ though...

It's definitely not to guide the physical cutting of the individual sheet, I don't know the word to use describe a 'cut and paste' line marker.

1948 Leaf #2 Steve Suhey. First I've seen with this white defect on the right side; not the normal offset ink layer you see on Leafs all the time.

1994 Fleer Hardy Nickerson #456.

This big black blotch thing on the right is recurring, though very rare I think. Not that anyone cares about 1994 Fleer but I thought this was one of the nicer photo-centric mid-90's designs

1952 Bowman Small #19 George Connor. Note the border frame gaps at top and bottom, and also in the borders of the name flag banner. I don't know if this can occur on the large as well.

Recurring red line at top. Looks like it probably extends to the cards to both the left and right of Mercer on the sheet, but I don't know the sheet layout and haven't gotten around to gathering miscut scans to try and piece it together. Probably a good clue here to the layout.

1964 Topps #145 Mike Mercer

[G1911]

1961 Fleer #57 Bob Pellegrini 'green ear square', recurring on a minority of cards.
