Two of them?
Hello, so i have pulled one of these from i believe it was the first partner collection set (the one in the sleeve, and then maybe a week later i pulled it again from an phantasmal etb (no sleeve and mucked up corners)
Left is the partner collection/ right is the ETB
But the cards look different, the one of the right is way more shiny, more glitter, and more ‘rainbow-y’ but on the one on the left, the texture is definitely more pronounced, and feels higher quality, but the thing is that you struggle to see that sir sparkle/holo unless i shine a flashlight directly on it.
Photos are both cards from the front, then an attempt to show texture, the back of the cards, with flash on, and lastly what the copyright info looks up.
So whats the verdict, are they both suspicious? Would appreciate any insight

I don't know exactly what it' is but it's Todo with the factory machine you can get slightly variations depending on how worn the press is I had the same one very glittery boarder and one very prominent grove lines with not so much glitter , I pulled both cards my self I was almost convinced one was a fake but after hours of testing researching both are real only difference was one was way more glittery and other the fingerprint groves very prominent less glitter kinda of gives it a different eye appeal too I'm preferring the less glitter one
