On one side of the double-backer of the Centurions, has anyone noticed that one side is a darker shade? Just wondering if any has noticed.

I've been studying one side compared to a reg and it'll be the same shade yet the other side is darker all the other cards are the same shade.. I'm still checking all the cards though..

its the same thing on the guardians ... there have been a couple of posts on the subject before so you can do a search on the forum for more info ... basically the shade of black that is used on the face of the cards is different from the shade of black used on the back of the cards.

It's been brought up numerous times before and nobody really has an answer other than it may be a printing error or something similar of that nature.

Just wondering, how much darker is it to the other side?

I didn't buy the Centurions, but I'll check my old decks of Guardians.

I mean, if it is not too too bad, just leave the darker side faced up so you know what the top card is. Or vice versa, keep it faced down so no one can see the difference.

Interesting observation though,

Did they mean for it to be darker?

Can anyone think of a way that can be used to our advantage?

It could be used as a key-card. Due to the vast difference in shades it's very easy to tell if your spread the deck along a table.

It would make for a great out.

I have actually used this shading to my advantage once or twice while showing my dad some tricks with the centurions, it works great and laymen can't see anything unless of course they studay them -.-.

For whoever asked how this can be used just leave one facing the other way like a one way and it should be easy to find. Also it can't be too noticeable because I haven't seen it on the guardians.
