By grainy, you mean to the touch as opposed to photo quality right? Because they did have that feel. I bought a NM set a few years ago (it looked to be factory packed because the cards had a zebra pattern to the edges like Topps vending does - didn't think they made factory sets then, although it's the second set I've seen packed like that). Anyway - cards were really nice NM/MT, but many did have the feel of very, very, very fine sand-paper (can't be gum - maybe the dust from the sheets during the cutting process?)
