Can you remind me how we got Law on the RE? You mentioned a line but I couldn't see anything. Thanks.

Two different miscuts. One mhas a line on the back, another seems to be cut as if an edge card.

What is the significance of the line?

The lines have been used for multitude of purposes over the years. Sometimes it was a cut line marker, sometimes it was to show the meld line between a group of four and a group of three rows etc. In this case, because niekro can be found with the line on top of the card and Law can be found with a line on the bottom of the card, I surmise that they are adjacent to each other vertically which would put law as a column 11 card

If the line on the Niekro is the one pictured in #77 above, that looks to me to be the top edge of whatever sort of holder it's in - it isn't parallel to the image on the card, and it seems to extend beyond the edges of the card.

Earl Battey cards, #490, appear to have a recurring print defect near the trademark. It might help in identifying the card adjacent to it.

Similarly, Siebern # 455, has cartoon marks that extend closer to the edge than normal, which might also help identify the adjacent card.

This miscut of Law appears to have a wavy right edge, so I suspect he is a RE card.

You and Cliff mentioned that the wavies are a sign of edge cards - I will defer to you as you have been doing this longer than I.

We already had Geiger next to Locke, but I found this today and I think it's safe to say we were right.

Take heart! There are 131 other cards from this slit out there waiting to be found!!
