Sliphorn, The card you show without the lines between the stats is NOT the company version of the 61 Post Mantle card

It IS the box version on top but the bottom version you show above is the card that was inserted into an issue of Life Magazine along with the Maris card.

Below is a company card. Issued on a perforated sheet of 10 cards. Note the perfs/chads on three sides of the card

1966 Topps 209. This white mark above the team banner is recurring on a minority of cards, but not tough.

1966 Topps 35 Jim Hunter. Catfish can be found with this peachy splotch covering part of his arm and the man in the background. It is recurring, I have seen a couple, but I believe it is tough to find.

I found one going through my 1972 Topps set: #335 Bill Hands is usually but not always found with a cluster of small marks that look like ink stains on the bare part of his right arm and his cap.

Looking through COMC listings, only 5 of the 45 examples for sale do not have the marks. Both buybacks listed do not have it, which may or may not suggest that Topps is aware of this.

There is also a squiggle like a sideways six to the right of his cap and a blotch above it which seem to be constants.

Good one John. I need a "regular" one

Not '70 but his '72 freak (not mine):
