What the heck is that thing?!!!
I was looking to purchase a graded 1911 Mecca double-folder of Zack Wheat on eBay; but when I took a close look at the card, there appeared to be a stain or some sort of printing defect on the card. So, I started looking at other listings of the same card, and I realized that all the cards had the same "stain". (I really don't know what to call it.)
Is it a printing defect? Is it, perhaps, a dead tree? What the heck is that thing?!!!

It looks like something (like maybe a bug) got smashed onto the printing plate and then caused stray black ink to be transferred onto the cards as they came through the printing process.

My card has it too
I was going to post my card to show mine also has the mark. But I see you already have my card as your PSA example above.

Craning my brain, once again
With that building in the background, I believe it was meant to look like a cityscape, so perhaps it is a 1910 era version of a crane?
