Is there a variation on 16' Heritage Justin Verlander #420?

[huskerbaseball1]

I busted a case and a half of 2016 Topps Heritage and while making sets I came across this Verlander card (the one on the left is the "variation" the one on the right is a standard one).

The card stock of the one is completely different, and like none of the other cards in the case(s). While the base Heritage cards have a wood grain like finish on the back. The one I have is smooth.

It looks as though the sheet it was cut from might have been put in the printer upside down because the front of my "variation" is wood grained while the front of the other one is smooth.

Any thoughts?

This is the wood grain front and glossy back rare variation. I sold a Giancarlo Stanton for $45 recently. Nice hit.

The code is the same, so it's probably topps' mistake.

EDIT: Shows what I know :(.

Believe that has a print run of 5 or so (maybe 10, but I think 5). Yeah that's an intentional parallel.

Thanks guys!

The code on that back this year doesn't hold a lot of water .
