I do not know if any of you noticed but me and my friend ( who also collets wackys) noticed that some of our wack-o-mercials have thicker numbering than others. Have any of you noticed this? Whitch one do you think is rare thick numbering in light? I really do not know. Tell me what you think.

What do you mean by "thick" numbering?  Do you mean heavy ink density vs. light?

I had some where the numbers were not sharp, and the line weight (?) of the numbers seemed almost 'thicker'.  Like using a medium point pen instead of a fine point.  I thought those almost looked a little blurry.

I misspelled alot on my lost reply. I meant that the ink looked like they used a different pen like Rawgoo said, and it looked heavyer. It was just the number not the sticker itself.

What that sounds like is an ink density variance on press.  They use a 5th plate for the black border and # which is separate from the black in the art.  I wouldn't consider that a variation, but more of a quality control thing.

You can modify your post when you realize you made typos - just go back to it, and there's a little icon at the far right, like a piece of paper with a pencil, and the option to 'modify' appears up in the header.

I am here to save the day! Check out the picture. The Crispux's Number on the left is darker than the one on the right.
