His name appears like that in the other 1917s I have seen:
If I were to guess I would say there is a minor bend in the card that can be seen if you hold it at an angle--maybe not so much now that it is slabbed. These cards were printed on thin stock and are prone to such bends, which don't rise to the level of a crease or even a wrinkle but are noticeable in hand.
Regardless, I can't see why you would regrade this beauty, it's not like several others are coming along. I suppose a Joe Jackson player card registry guy might want to better his over all avg, but I don't see the price being enhanced too much with a one or two grade bump. Then again, those who worship at the altar of the slab may feel differently.
