I recently received a couple of Time Spirals, one which is significantly different from other cards I have from Urza's Saga (actually all other cards I have available and have checked).
Basically the card title, type definition and artist printing seems off; kind of like that the shadow effect on the card is only partial, please see the picture https://goo.gl/photos/5sKBKL11Est8ugGF9 (left card).
I have not seen this anomaly before; can anyone comment on whether this is a simple misprint, or is this a known red flag?
The card compares to other saga cards I have with regards to rosette pattern and light test though, as far as I can see. There is a slight difference with regards to a missing white shadow effect/ glow on the text box also, on one side.
On the left card the black printing is downshifted by few pixels. That is relatively common misprint and if the card passes the normal tests (light test, feels normal, clean priting and rosettes) it's real. This is a really clean example of this, as the text box shadow shows really nicely below level where the color changes.
Until fakers start next-leveling, I feel that misprinted cards are more likely to be real, as fakers really don't want to draw attention to the details and start getting people to checking the rosette patterns.

All comments are appreciated, thanks.
