Got this 69 T Joe Shultz #254 variation today. Looking at the one on the right under a 10x loupe I can see where Topps actually covered this red/blue streak over. There is a very faint red blemish where the arrow is and it shows up better under the loupe. You can also see some distortion in the area of where the streak was covered up.
My guess is that the Revlon anti-blemish cream was not fully applied on Joe prior to distribution.
