25th Wild Bill.........Variant?

[Mindbender M.D.]

I was looking at my Wild Bill and the silver on my backer card is almost a mirror chrome finish as most all other cards are a brushed alluminum. Hmmm. Anyone else notice this on theirs? Do we think this is a package variant or not?

Sounds like you're describing the embossed cards.

There's been a lot of discussion around these new embossed cards. This will be going away with the new Cartoon Series packaging. (white borders & text). But for now there seems to be several cards that have either been changed or re-issued as filler waves that have the silver parts embossed vs. brushed metal looking. I passed on an entire section of embossed scarlet, duke and others because I'm not sure they're a worthy variation. There's no change to the figures themselves.

I'd love to hear other's opinions. I collect my figures and keep them MOC. I've thought about buying the embossed ones and returning the dull ones. Again, not sure it's worth the hassle.

Mine is the same. Its weird the randomness of the cards

I bet it has something to do with the way the silver is applied at the factory. Maybe different amounts of pressure applying the silver. Like random.

yeah i don't think it' anything to sweat about, few months ago someone said it could be when they reload the chrome satmping band it comes out stronger the first ones around
