Question for 2016 Wrigley/Fenway card collectors...

Has anyone gotten a card that was printed incorrectly? I got a Rob Skinner card, and the front of the card is printed on the matte side of the paper, and the back is on the glossy side. Every other card I have has the front printed on glossy and the back on the matte side. At first I thought it was a fake card until I examined another Skinner card I have. Very strange...

    Crazy but true story....
    I just received 10 packs of Wrigley cards, sat down to start opening them. You know how you can sometimes see through the wrapper? The first pack I look at I can tell there's a Skinner card in there, Sweet! I come in here to bring up the Fenway/Wrigley card thread and I see your discussion and read it, then I open up that pack with the Skinner card and I think it's printed as you said. It's not super obvious but the back of the card seems to have a slightly more glossy appearance and the front is a little duller. Crazy.

  • Wow, that's crazy! I didn't think mine would be the only one. If you hold the card to the light, it also reflects the photo differently than the front of a glossy card.
