I’d count this as a natural color variation - cards of this era are known for it, but it’s always nice to be able to spot variations like this!

Did it happen often?
Yes, it happened extremely frequently. Many, if not most, cards from that era will show some form of subtle color variation.
I see the recent discussion about color variation- I know it happens, but I pulled 3 uncommons today that are really far off.

Very vibrant holo bleed Lugia, you can see 4 swirls in the bleed. The pictures don’t do it justice. Trying to give a taste of how strong it is! Holo bleed video

Mine aren’t graded, but I’m happy I have all four missing color layer error variants now. 
Top to bottom rows: missing Cyan; Magenta; Yellow; Black CMYK color layers.
PS: Ignore the German instead of English regular Celebrations Pikachu for comparison in the bottom-right. I was too lazy to redo the picture when I noticed it just yet.
Greetz,

Hi, I’m wondering if others have seen this before.
The card has these two raised lines on the front. The back looks unremarkable. I assumed this card came about similarly to crimped cards, so I’ve been storing it with them. I pulled this myself and put it in my binder straight from the pack.
These errors are called pinched layer by cgc, they are recognised by them.

Dang yeah those are cool! We will see
Found this among the random new singles in my LGS today.
Lots of excess yellow ink across the card surface; even some on Azumarill’s white belly, which you can’t quite see in the photo.

I ended up submitting this card, and a couple of my crimped cards to CGC as my test first sub. Here they are!
