It's called a straddle margin. It happened when panes were cut. It makes the stamp less desirable for a lot of collectors but I happen to like straddle panes.
Here is a Scott 100 straddle margin copy that I owned and Rupp sold for me. He sold hundreds of stamps in a one year period but this one took two years because of the straddle margin. People just don't want them even though the margins are "jumbo". Slap some perfs on and you have a stamp worth five times as much that people compete for.
