My Favorite Find in the 1973 Pile

Here is a great card from the 1973 Kellogg's baseball card set.  



I've seen old cards from Topps, Bowman, etc. where someone scratches off the team name or position to accurately reflect any changes.  On this card, all that was cut off was the line of blue stars on the top that look just like the ones on the bottom.

Was someone trying to match the size of some other card or binder?

Did they not see Kline as a star?  If so, why not cut off the stars on the bottom?

Was this the work of a sibling of a collector trying to get revenge?  If so, why did the sibling choose Kline when lots of other stars would have been better revenge?  I think this way since I've got lots of siblings and some wouldn't know any of the players.
