Default Shiny T206 Card Legit???

Looking for some thoughts on this T206 Danny Murphy batting card I recently had delivered from a reputable dealer. Pic of card attached. I have been collecting T206 cards for over 3 years (finished my 518 set end of last year) and have been upgrading some of the beaters I have in my set. 3 years makes me still a baby with this set, but I have never seen this before. When I pulled the card out of the card saver it had a "film" feeling to it...almost like it is laminated, but it is not. I immediately thought it was a fake as I have not felt anything like that before, but I did take my loop to the card and it does have the typical dot printing...maybe since most of my cards fall into the 2 / Good category I haven't experienced a card with this "sheen" before...I have no doubt that after you guys weigh in and determine it is a fake, that the dealer would have no problem taking the card back.

I will say this, the card I'm getting rid of seems to have a bit of the same sheen on it as well...maybe this particular card inherently has this issue???

Let me know your thoughts.

You finished the 518 and don't know if this is real?
It's 100% good.

And the sheen is probably the natural, shiny, patina we see on vintage cards.
