The black line is not known to print defect dorks (not to my knowledge at least, who am I to speak for everyone...) and doing a quick search online, I can't find a picture of one with it.

The pictures are not good enough to really judge. If it is a legit print defect it wouldn't be weird to have 2 of them if they came from the same box originally (a defect usually occurs on X numbers of sheets run before it is fixed or something changes on the press to accidentally fix it) and this is an old collection. It certainly doesn't seem to be a common defect though.

I would be a bit wary, more for the black line.
I don't recall seeing a MB Ryan with white on both sides, and I've seen a lot. Not saying you couldn't be right, but how likely is it TWO of them would show up at the same time with the same seller?
