Looking at my Waldfeen test print today, I notice that it is slightly taller than a regular card. Maybe half milimeter difference. Anyone else notice this with theirs?

Hi Tav
I believe yours is the Amy Weber one, correct ? It's on Normal MTG Card stock ? Can you please post HD Scans, I will do the same with the 2 I own, that are "Test Prints" not finished, ready to be sent, as the 50 ones of Amy Weber.

I own one (got it from Amy Weber) and it's exactly the normal MTG carstock (passes the bend test by the way), with a perfect MTG back and the dot pattern looks like normal older white cards too (I have the Mesa Pegasus picture).
Just the colors are a bit brighter and of course the font is different. picture's wrong etc.
In other words, mine at least looks exactly like a WOTC produced test print.
I'm not sure of the origin of my Waldfeen/Mesa Pegasus. I spoke with Amy Weber about getting one, but she was in the process of relocating her art studio and could not help. The one I have came from Gunslinga. Hard to say how many hands it has passed through or where it originated. The card stock is definately not normal though, It feels thinner. I don't have a tool to measure that at the moment, so it may not actually BE thinner, but it is definately more flexible and not as stiff as a normal Magic card. The surface is noticeably more glossy than normal. Under magnification, the usual dot pattern is present.
Here is a scan of the back as you requested.

UPDATE:
I found my tool that measures card thickness.
Here are the measurements for a regular German Unlimited Waldfeen (typical of all Magic cards size).
3.465 inches tall ( 88.011 mm)
2.484 inches wide ( 63.0936 mm)
0.012 inches thick (.3048 mm)
Here are the measurements for my test print Waldfeen
3.483 inches tall (88.4682 mm) barely noticeable difference
2.487 inches wide (63.1698 mm) imperceptable difference
0.012 inches thick (.3048 mm) same
though the thickness is the same, it does feel like the test print bends a little easier. Maybe it's just my imagination?
I also have a test print Unholy Strenth/Blue Elemental Blast and a test print Grizzly Bears/Samite Healer with white border back.
test print Unholy Strength
3.484 inches tall (88.4936 mm)
2.489 inches wide (63.2206 mm)
0.012 inches thick (.3048 mm)
test print Grizzly Bears
3.486 inches tall (88.5444 mm)
2.501 inches wide (63.5254 mm)
0.012 inches thick (.3048 mm)
Just for comparison, some more regular cards...
German Unlimited Samite Healer
3.469 inches tall (88.1126 mm)
2.486 inches wide (63.1444 mm)
0.012 inches thick (.3048 mm)
English Revised Samite Healer
3.463 inches tall (87.9602 mm)
2.486 inches wide (63.1444 mm)
0.012 inches thick (.3048 mm)
Summer (Edgar) Samite Healer
3.460 inches tall (87.884 mm)
2.482 inces wide (63.0428 mm)
0.012 inches thick (.3048 mm)
Conclusion: thickness is always the same, width is practically the same, German/French testprints are approximately .02 inches (.508 mm) taller than regular cards.
