I was looking at that too. Couldn't tell whether that was white card stock or just a really poor photo / flash from a camera.
While we're on the subject of the color white. Many sets printed on off-white card stock do not use ink for the white portions of the card image ... they just don't put any ink there and use the card stock for the white color. This means you should always compare the white in the image with the white on the borders. If they are different shades of white, that likely means the white on the image is ink and the card is a fake.
