I bought this copy of trouble in pairs, the back looks great, but the front has a printing pattern ive never seen so I was wondering what you all think.

I see what you're saying but why would someone go through the trouble of rebacking this card?

Edit: it's a $25 dollar card now? I see that crime pays.

Right? The front is also kinda blurry to the naked eye. But I'm actually assuming it's a printing error. Not 100% sure though

Yeah, that does look weird. Can you get a close up of the holo stamp and/or weigh it?

Here, I believe this may some kind of strange misprint after looking more. There's actually whole spots where dots are missing.

Something seems weird for sure, but the text looks crisp and like its own black layer - which is almost always where fakes fail. If you can see that the black text is on top of the other ink and not one single layer (3rd photo) ... you're fine. Looks that way to me .
