Have something that is driving me crazy.   Picked up a companion set to replace one that I own.  The players book, the front cover is less glossy and also pages 1-14 feel like at one time they might have been damp and then dried out.  The issue stops around page 15.

I thought it was damp and then dried out until I viewed/handled one of my friends companion sets and it had the same exact issue.  Felt like it was wet at one time, dried out and cleared up on page 15.

My set that I replaced doesn't have this.

Was there some odd print issue where the ink was heavier causing this 'effect'.   I find it hard to believe that we both have the same issue with sets, same texture and clearing up on the same page.
