Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback
. If it was indeed the photo that didn't get enough ink, exposure, etc... During the photography process, wouldn't other Oldrings have this same issue?
Bryan, that's certainly a solid point as well. However, the texture of the card is actually perfectly smooth. The swirling you see that appears to be texture is actually a crummy plastic toploader that the card is loaded in. There's no change in texture at all throughout the entire card except for that top right corner.
I'll try to post a better scan of the card later on....one of the card outside the top-loader.
Btw....there isn't any way that there could be this much ink loss if someone tried to soak a t222 could there?
