I also have to wonder if it's the only variation with the top of the diamond also cut off or if there are variations out there with the team logo diamond complete except for the top edge.

It seems like a this variation is border-related as the border seems to be what is cutting off the left and top of the team logo diamond. If the logo was shifted to the right a little bit, it could be complete on three sides and have the top of the diamond cut off.

Looks like the left border is significantly wider on these variants than on the normal card. Could be a Frank Thomas NNOF situation where some sort of mechanical printing element got moved briefly, blocking out all the ink.

In this one, the top tip of the diamond is also obscured in line with the white border.
