As far as I can tell, real ghosts take a few different forms:

1. Wet ink transfers from the front of one card to the back of a card stacked on top of it during printing. The ghost is on the back.

2. One color layer is so badly mis-registered that it appears as a separate image. This could be offset or upside-down. It also could be a different player.

Your card has neither of these, but instead could be a vaiation of #1 but where wet ink transferred from the back of one card to the front of one under it when stacked during printing. This is just a defect.

What is the back on this card? You could look a the back (especially if it's blue) and try to find this pattern. Remember that it will be a mirror image.

So, no MK is due, which to me is a kiss of death on quality. This is most likely a minor print defect, which (maybe) was factored into the grade.
