The Ganley was from a storage issue. There are quite a few Sweet Caporal cards out there that have the fuzzy image transfer, like either from the cards getting wet, or being stored in a damp place. I actually have two(and have seen others) that also have the top right darkening with the same fuzzy image, so it may have been a huge stack that suffered some type of fire damage or storage issue.
Side-by-side you can easily tell the difference between a wet sheet transfer SC back and one that was moisture related after it left the factory, just from the crispness in the transfer
