A mark, I think. I’m not a printing expert but tons of the 1957 cards have these vertical black marks, that I presume were left by the machines printing them. Personally, I’ve considered them akin to a card being off-center or miscut, damage during production and not a variant.

1963 #522 with Gary Peters can be found with this mark in the lower right, from the sheet. It's not too uncommon, but most have less of the mark visible than this one that is worse cut.

1972 #581 - red mark in upper border. This one is super easy, it's on like 50% of the cards or so.

1972 #619 McKinney comes with or without this slash between "batting" and "record". Both versions are common and easy to find. I don't think this has been mentioned but I feel like I have talked about this with some of you guys offline

The McKinney has some front oddities too. My slash occurs on his "normal" card

Looks like I have more McKinney’s to chase down. Thank you Al

I posted this card in the monthly pickups, but then realized it might be a print variation too. There is one print variation being sold on Ebay as a "red blotch" variation. This card has part of that, it has a red stripe at the back of Luke's hat. Anyway, just one of many leaf variations.

I have found that there are 4 variations to this card. 2 front variations with normal backs and 2 back variations with normal fronts.

Front #1: The Yellow blob in the Yankees "Y" letter and on his face has a normal (no slash in record line) on back.

Front #2: The blue line above the "EE" in Yankees has a normal (no slash in record line) on back.

Both of the back variations have the normal front:

Back #1: The slash in the record line is broken into two parts and is thin. It also misses the "G" in Batting.

Back #2: The slash in the record line is a single slash and is wider than the broken, thin slash. And it touches the "G" in Batting.

That is all I have found so far.

Both backs variations are shown below Al's cards:
