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.

Well there you go then!

So RE seems to be:

Law 4x
Dodgers Rookies 4x
Braves Rookies 3/4
Javier 3/4
Berra 3x
Mets Rookies 3x
Checklist 7 3x

Based on the counts I have I'd say its still a toss up as to whether Javier and Niekro are 3x or 4x - one has to be each.

With Berra in the RE, this gives us Banks and Boyer in column 10 and Freese in column 9.

Does this all make sense?

I don't think Berra is a RE card. Banks has Berra to his right and Clete Boyer above him. Boyer has Pavletich to his right, so that means Pavletich is above Berra. If Berra is a RE then Pavletich would also have to be a RE. Either that Berra was crudely cut from a sheet or is a bizarre cut flaw, the left side is very uneven too.
