RE: Card Errors Database - Provide a Picture When Reporting Errors - No Misprints
I have a reverse holo Lysandre that looked odd and matte on the picture of Lysandre himself, and when I had a friend of mine take a look at it, he noticed that it's because Lysandre himself was actually made holo. Has anyone else found a card like this? I would provide pictures but it's a little hard to show.

Hey, guys! I have an error card Tauros that I've kept in storage ever since I was about 12.
The 1st Edition logo is printed over the Type symbol at the top right.
I was just wondering what you guys thought it might be worth and I understand sometimes it's hard to put a value to things like this.
Here's the URL. http://s27.postimg.org/ssy2el0hv/10452927_667394970008176_7675243427529150503_o.jpg
Thanks again.

That card seems like one of a kind, its probably not too valuable but its defiantly worth over 10 bucks. I'd guess 15-20 dollars? Not too sure on older cards but its still a nice card.
I don't know, if you get it to hit light it should show. We really need proof before people claim to have errors :/Frost Mage said:

I don't see how you could give me a decent appraisal without one ;D
Thanks for the quick answer as well.
I guess I'll start looking around and seeing if I can't find someone who's interested.

I'm not sure if it would be considered a misprint or an error, but i have a Diamond and Pearl-Great Encounters Latios. The name on it is misspelled Lation instead of Latios. I haven't seen any other latios cards with this error, so I don't know how rare it is.

Sorry to say, but that's a fake. The text and colors are off.

RE: Are These Cards Real or Fake?
Sometimes Walmart and other big box retailers buy cards from 3rd party companies rather than directly from TPCi. Oftentimes these cards are the ones you see in special packages different than those sold directly from TPCi and may include loose cards or packs or a combination of both. It isn't unheard of for those 3rd party packages to sometimes have fake cards since they come from many different sources and are simply sold cheaply to make an easy profit.

RE: [split] Card Errors Database - Provide a Picture When Reporting Errors - No Misprints
Absolutely a fake. Fonts are wrong, symbols are wrong, and as these cards are mass produced, if it was real, there would be other misprints with the "Lation" name. As Athena said, it's not unheard of for cards from Walmart to come from third party sources (especially cards from older sets) -- and unfortunately, it's not unheard of for some of those cards to be fake. How long ago did you buy the pack?HastyLucario said:

I do know what a Shadowless card is. Sure, your card IS shadowless, but not from THE Shadowless Base Set cards. Let's go through the mistakes from the fake Diglett:
1) Both the "Basic Pokémon" and the "Diglett" text is smaller.
2) The "30 HP" is in a different color AND size, and also their distance to the Type of the card varies.
3) The Energy symbols are completely different from the original ones.
4) The image's frame and the Dex data box are different.
5) The attacks have a different font, as well as Dex descriptions.
6) Both fake cards have DIFFERENT RARITIES!! xD
Those cards are nowhere near being real. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, though.

RE: *** Card Errors Database *** (Provide a Picture When Reporting Errors - no misprints)
Where are the errors on these cards? I can't make them out? Once I know where they are I need to check my cards. I have all these Pokemon. Thanks XD.

look like errors to me though there has been a new scam on ebay with people stamping the 1rst edition symbol on unlimited cards to make quick cash

Some cards had that border but as IRC they were much rarer than a regular card. For example a card that is a common with that border would be worth a Diamond uncommon or star Rare etc. If it is a rare with that border it is an Ultra rare and is worth a 3 starred Ultra rare.

some poor guy bought it for like 120 bucks
sucks

So I was looking through eBay listings, and found a binder lot of Pokemon cards, which happens to include a Shadowless Base Set Charizard. I asked the seller if he could provide more pics, and if he would be willing to sell it by itself. He replied back, saying that he thinks it's fake but isn't 100% sure.
Just wanted to ask you guys if it's real or not. As far as I can tell, maybe the coloring on the front looks off, but I'm not 100% sure either lol. Thanks in advance
