I stated above that the effect was from the card below (in another sheet). I have to admit that I don't know that to be true, so it could be actual "bleed-through" on that card. I guess one would have to delaminate a card and see if there was ink in the middle to answer that. I did a random check of a couple hundred WWG and Goudeys that I have and it appears to affect about 25-30% of the cards for both companies in that particular sample. Again, if I saw the effect in a scan it would tend to make me say "real"...would be a pretty meticulous forger to go that far. Lack of the effect obviously doesn't prove anything either way.
