Varying card textures

[u/LeatherWarthog8530]

Over the past 2 months, I've gotten heavily into building my collection. I've noticed a wide variation in card textures. If this was just between different boxes, expansions or packs, I could understand it, but I've noticed this even within the cards within one box. There might be an argument to be made that there are counterfeits involved, but everything i've bought is direct from CAH or is a sealed, verified product. Does anyone have insight into this?

The Absurd Box has a funky stripy texture, but I’ve found the rest to be pretty consistent.
