I can answer that one, in the sixties through at least 1970 Topps made proof sheets in 33 or 44 card blocks, when they assembled 132 card Slits they combined those 33 and 44 card blocks and used the lines to meld the blocks together. On the 1962 cards with lines visible there will always be a different wood grain pattern from the other card showing, on the 1970 cards apparently Topps didn’t want to go through the trouble of airbrushing those lines out.
