Looks like extended sunlight exposure to me.

That was my first thought. I have seen probably 4-5 of these. There is a PSA 8 on eBay right now. Just odd to see that many with the same 'exposure' or same level of damage. I'll hope to find another player someday....

Looking at COMC - found these blue/green examples. Partials only, however.
One is a 50/50 that looks like damage (sun or water?). The other is just the upper right corner of the green box. Weird?

1974 Topps #451 Ken Stabler comes with sheet text on the right side.

1975 Topps #120 Len Dawson. The red/yellow line at top is pretty common. The red spot above the top black border is recurring independent of the red/yellow line on cards off center to the top as well.

Recurring but pretty tough; 2 on COMC, 1 on eBay, 0 in my hoard of 71's. 1971 Topps #172 Garry Garrison with white streak next to his hair.

1972 Topps #311 Doug Cunningham. Note that his neck is entirely printed in red. I think this error may have never been corrected, I can't seem to find a copy without the 'bloody neck'. Oops!
