Not sure if this one has come up before, but I just bought a copy of the high number 1972 Topps card for Doug Griffin. I did not notice until the card arrived that it had what looked like a red pen mark, in the... groin.... area. For a minute, I thought I had purchased a marked card. But it looks like this mark is near ubiquitous on this card. I could only find one example without it, and it is a highly graded and therefore highly expensive ebay listing.

I found this at a card show in Hilliard, Ohio yesterday. Note the yellow spot on the bill of his cap. I have not seen any on eBay or COMC.

I found this insert in my March 1st, 1963 Card Collectors Company catalogue. This backs up my vague memory of eating a bunch of kind of bland cookies. I do not think the set was all that scarce even now.

After looking at a bunch at COMC, the dot comes in different thicknesses, the hole in the center changes sizes and it even rests higher or lower on his arm...shades of the 1966 Landrum again, it looks like they may have tried multiple times to get it the way they wanted it.

1963 checklist variation

The orange border version of checklist 6 was printed in series 5. Because of the way these series were printed, the checklist abuts Callison, #434. The red mark might be from the circle on the Callison card.

However, if the red mark is in the white border, it is because this card was a left edge card on the slit.
