I have the chance to get two duals, an Underground Sea and a Bayou, from a friend for a fair price. I have compared them to other duals I own of the same kind and they pass the light, gloss, and loupe tests but they just have a different feel. Very slight but almost waxy. I flipped my unsleeved pile of duals upside down and without looking, was able to tell the difference between them and pick them out of the pile. The Bayou is slightly darker, just a tad, as is the Underground Sea. So my questions is, are these fakes even though they passed other tests or are they real and I am being paranoid?
In addition, I did Google this in advance of this posting and could find things about glossy duals (which I have seen) but that is not what these are.

Thank you in advance.
