Can definitely see that in the higher series of the 1972 set, in both the border colors and the depth of the photos.
Back to the 1964s, I bought a Giants Gunners (Mays and Cepeda) card on the 'bay and when it arrived it felt strangely thinner than other 64s that I have. I haven't measured the thickness, so I can't tell for sure, but it certainly did feel 'different'.
