Default “Ideal” centering for 1954 Topps Banks

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I recently picked up a copy of this card that I consider to be ideally centered, and given that it was so difficult to find - this of course sparked interest. I can tell you from searching for hours on end at the National a few weeks ago, finding a nice one with room above his name at all on the top is a very tall order indeed.

That said - the “print cutoff” thing on the name - where like part of the E and S seems missing at the top - not just the bad centering / cut - does anyone have more insight into how / why this happened? I have noticed that almost all of the time you find a decently centered card with room above his name at the top, the print problem like that is there. Many examples where the card is OC or almost miscut at the top - and the print problem will not be there, the E and the B and the S will be fully formed. Wonder why this is…
