Based on their position relative to one another on this sample, that makes no sense.

Definitely something odd/strange going on here.
Speaking of Wehmeier, and the fact it is such a difficult card to find in great centered high grade shape, a PSA 8 just sold last night at REA for $24,000 dollars.
If I searched correctly, the last 8 sold for just over $5,000 back in 2017.

Some major P(l)ayers working on that set in psa 8 nowadays.

MAYBE since the printed the blacks, they decided to print some reds with the next series? I've never seen that panel, but is curious!
