Why did this T205 (PSA 1) common sell for over $100??

I don't follow the T205's and I only have a couple but there is usually an
explanation for a card that brings a premium. Looking at the rest of the Murphy
T205's on ebay I didn't see any with this white line between first
and second on them is this a variation?

I'm pretty sure that white line is the result of the gold border around the diamond simply being off-register.

It was just a guess on my part but if it's a shift I would think the gold border should be over the black lines on the left side.

I think it's a shift too but good eye and you may be correct!

If that was a thing people here would know about it.

Just because it's not publicized doesn't mean people don't know about it. Remember last year when the T206 Polar Bear back with IE in series was missing went for like $600?
And then three or four different guys said, "Oh, yeah, we've been picking those up for cheap, but now the secret's out!"
