I purchased a Revised Edition Tundra on ebay, which is by far my most expensive single card purchase. I immediately noticed the back of the card is significantly darker than all of the other mtg cards I own. I don't know if I have any revised edition, but I do have a lot of older cards going back to at least to '94. Is it normal for Revised Edition card backs to be significantly darker?
It won't let me upload a photo on this thread for some reason, so I put photos on a temporary storage site linked below. The card on top is the tundra, and the other card is a basic land from an older set with similar fonts/layout but I'm not sure what edition. The photo really doesn't capture the color difference very well. It's very noticeable in person.
Other than that, the card seems very legit. The weight of the card seems comparable, looks similar when shining a light through it, and the print patterns are very similar when you zoom in on the picture of the card front.

as far as authenticity goes, i'm not going to be the one to know for sure, but you should provide a picture of the entire front of the card you picked up so more knowledgeable people can do a full examination of the details.

My revised plateau badlands and tundra are all a bit darker than usual and I know them to be legit since they came from a reputable source who kept them in a box for 20 years. All in better condition than other duals I've seen.
