My limited understanding of printing is that what you have described is typical of what a half-tone screen print would look like if the printing plate was made using the cards rather than the original art (think W565 or E220). It doesn't prove the card is authentic, only that it was not produced using modern printing technology. It may be a reprint from the original cards. Perhaps the company that produced the cards decided to produce a second printing but did not have the first set of plates or original art and made a new set from the cards themselves?

None of my cards from this set look like you have described.
