Print bleed on top and bottom, obscuring the card number, since the ball should have white coloring inside.

Can't remember if its appeared in this thread and search is picking up a ton of results for "Cloyd Boyer" that aren't right, but here's 1952 Topps #280 Cloyd Boyer, with the magenta striping at bottom border RPD.

Boyer happens to complete my 1-310 basic set except for... Willie Mays. Great

I think Dale may have posted it either in this thread or the 52 Gallery thread. I picked one up after seing that post. Scarce but recurring

eBay happens to be unusually rich with them right now at the moment, but I've seen off-center cards of Boyer missing the magenta, so I assume that the mark was only on one of its placements on a full sheet and is thus only possible on Boyer's that came from that particular sheet slot. But what do I know!

I believe that line was a demarcation mark used by Topps to meld the 4x print rows with the 3x print rows. I have seen Sparma, Downing, and Mets team with the yellow line at top. These cards are in the row below the Lopez row. In addition, I have seen Gaines with the yellow line at bottom.

I collected most of the variants i have at a time I was blissfully unaware of the fact some were actually related. Guys like Cliff and you explained a lot of them

And from series 6, on the reverse

Truthfully, I didn't really notice these until I was studying my 1968 cards, where this pattern is prevalent. I then went back to other years to discern if it had occurred before. Cliff then educated me about the practice.

It is interesting that everyone of these I see, the back is offset to the left.
