Default Coarse stock 1969 Topps Deckle Edge?

Does anybody know of 2 wildly different stocks in this set? I have one card that has no gloss at all, but on top of the gloss issue really seems to be a completely different stock on both front and back. There is no smoothness, it's a very coarse and bumpy stock on both sides, unlike the smoothness of all the other cards in this series I've handled. The back is much less white, more creamy than all the other cards I have.

The pics are from angles under the light to try and capture the feel and look difference when handling. Both cards are of the Topps variety; correct size, blue signatures, Topps back captions instead of the O-Pee-Chee characteristics. The unusual stock card is the one on the left
