Design difference in 1st base trainers

General
1

I have just received two PSA graded 1st ed base trainers and noticed a difference in the focus of the grey area (directly connected to the yellow border). One card seems to have the colors really blurred compared to other base set trainers I have. It also seems to have the 3D print.

I have taken pictures comparing the cards to show the difference. Is that common? I have not seen a smudged pattern like that on a base set card.

Weird one on the top:

Seems like one had more ink put on than the other. Reminds me of how the backs of the WOTC cards are all different shades of blue

This happens from time to time on shadowless and 1st ed base cards. It looks wild on a double colorless energy

Holy, that’s really wild! I was confused when I first saw it because the card stock looks legit but the colours are just sooo weird. Kinda like a bad fake attempt printed on a real card. Thanks for sharing!
