Mirage card stock
Not sure if anyone cares, but I was bored at work/school, so I measured the difference between the card stock thickness for the two Mirage printings (aka. made in USA/Belgium).
USA - 0.01175" (avg)
Belgium - 0.012" (avg)
Does it mean anything? Who knows!
Pretty repeatable over the cards I measured, which was by no means a statistically significant sample size. Meh.

At the request of another member, I also measured the card stock for glossy/regular Ice Age.
For the glossy IA, all card thicknesses were > 0.01225", and all regular had thicknesses < 0.0119".
Take what you will from it.

You would be correct.l0qii wrote:I believe these are imperceptible differences except with a micrometer.

Probably very noticable, however, when using Interferometry--as most Magic players do..........berkumps wrote:You would be correct.l0qii wrote:I believe these are imperceptible differences except with a micrometer.

It would be interesting to know if there's any difference between Conflux cards and, say, Shards of Alara or any other newer set.

As Magicdude pointed out, there is in the tokens from Conflux. They do not use card stock, only paper.Jeppe wrote:It would be interesting to know if there's any difference between Conflux cards and, say, Shards of Alara or any other newer set.

The Alara Reborn cards have a slightly different process than Shards or Conflux. Shine the front of them in the light at an angle, and you can see that Reborn cards seem faintly 'textured' while Shards and Conflux cards seem 'smooth' (tried this with cards fresh of boosters of each set to confirm - every time)
