RE: New Errors and Misprints Thread >New Rule: Please Provide a Picture When Sharing a Possible Fake or Misprint.

The other upside-down WB Movie stamps are real. There has been discussion on other forums that all 4 were printed with such error. The main question with those is how many of each were made and are still in existence.

What do you guys think about the other inverse stamp movie promos, legit?

I believe that to be real.

It brings up the question, is it possible to produce a counterfeit error card that looks so realistic it's undetectable?
Click to expand...

Yes, but it would be expensive to make, and should be detectable as appearing in one region only.




What I was saying is when I look at an error I have to have a general idea how the error happened. Some of these errors defy explanation.

Actually, that would count as a misprint. "Oh, that Vulpix isn't a misprint. That is a typo problem." You see what I mean? Any sort of error that occurs while making/packaging the cards classifies as a misprint/error.

No a misprint is a typo or a wrong year or a length weight or length length or weight weight print. Any card missing correct spelling punctuation or missing symbols or HP is a misprint. A card that was on the short end of a printer running out of ink is no misprint XD. I have been around longer than you XD. I know the odds and ends of misprint. That is not a misprint by all means. The Vulpix card is a misprint because it has the Japanese HP. You need to toughen up on the definition of a misprint XD. No harsh feelings just a bit tired as I had a long day at church XD. Don't take me the wrong way. You just need to know where I stand on misprints. That's not a misprint XD. Just a card that was on an end of a dying toner.:) Nothing was printed wrong on the card.:)

I got the RH catcher about 4 months ago. Notice the border on the RH catcher is much darker than the normal catcher (It's darker than all of the other cards I have too.) It's not the lighting because it looks like this all the time.

Is it simply a misprint, or is it a really well made fake? The backs of the cards look identical. Also, I have three other RH catchers that look exactly the same as this one, with the darker border. I got them all from the same place.

EDIT: Just realized all of my RH cards have slightly darker borders, so it looks like it's not an issue.

They might be changing color patterns too. We may never find out for sure XD. Count them as real until proven guilty XD.:)
 
RE: New Errors and Misprints Thread >New Rule: Please Provide a Picture When Sharing a Possible Fake or Misprint.

Could look darker due to the medium that TPCI uses to make a holo card. I can only assume that printing on the foil stuff would make the card look different, aside from the obvious effect, to a non holo card.

The guy I was talking to on eBay just put up an amazing collection for sell. He has a Magneton with a similar border error:
Click to expand...

These border errors like this Magneton and the Kangaskhan - Jungle are not errors, but sun faded cards like mentioned before. I once opened a Box (I believe it was Holon Phantoms) and got some cards that were out of ink errors. The whole card (not only the borders) had less collor if you compared them with the normal ones.

I got a Shining Celebi - Neo Destiny that has an error. The foil from Celebi is printed wrong so it looks double (as if you're drunk :p).

I'll try to post some pictures of my Error/Misprint cards.

As you said, it's due to the way they make foils, it's a bit like with Magic the Gathering cards, there is a very thin layer of silverspray sprayed on the card, so it sparkles and due to the light beeing blocked a bit, the cards appear darker in tone.

Thanks for backing me on this one since there were no typos. If there were typos or symbol errors it would be a misprint. Since it is ink related they can't be counted as misprints officially XD.:)
 
RE: New Errors and Misprints Thread >New Rule: Please Provide a Picture When Sharing a Possible Fake or Misprint.

When there are several cards with the same error and the card also has a corrected version, I call these "official" misprints (like Pikachu Red Cheeks and Dark Persian No HP).
I see a lot of cards listed as errors like Seaking - Jungle, Dark Arbok - Team Rocket etc. But since those cards were never corrected I don't realy count them as misprints. Technicaly they are misprints, but because all of the cards are the same, for a collector like me they don't join my Error/Misprintlist.

I also collect other error cards like Ink/printing errors, miscut errors and packaging errors.
 
RE: New Errors and Misprints Thread >New Rule: Please Provide a Picture When Sharing a Possible Fake or Misprint.

Yes even those cards are misprints as they have mistakes on the cards. Those are official misprints. I have some of those still but some never made it into the Legendary Collection set and should have been in that set. For some unkown reason that I don't think we will ever know they did not make that set. I don't know why XD. They are official though.:)

Error class:

Uncorrected: When every printed version of that card has the same error. Since every card has the same error there should be no added value. In a set list, there should be note of Uncorrected Error.

Corrected: When a card is first produced with an error and later runs correct error. The more valuable card is the harder to find one.

Production: When a run of cards of cards have the same error that differs them from the rest of run. Examples d Edition Butterfree, Dialga G LV X yellow Fire energy. This error usually has added value.

Printer: When a single card or a very small run of cards have the same error. Normally smudges, miscuts alignment errors. Value is variable and discretionary.

Do you prefer errors sorted by error type, or by set in the first post?

I pulled a Slakoth with a black spill of ink at the top, it's small though. Has anyone else had black ink spills on ther DRX cards?
 
RE: New Errors and Misprints Thread >New Rule: Please Provide a Picture When Sharing a Possible Fake or Misprint.

^I pulled a Giratina EX FA with white specks on the back. I know lots of people have said this before but I realized how bad it actually is.

Wow, those are some really nice errors! Where did you get them?
 
RE: New Errors and Misprints Thread >New Rule: Please Provide a Picture When Sharing a Possible Fake or Misprint.

LOVE the Ninetales! I've always wanted that error. :)
 
RE: New Errors and Misprints Thread >New Rule: Please Provide a Picture When Sharing a Possible Fake or Misprint.

Some of them from opening Boosters, others on eBay. I've always collected errorcards and have a lot more, but mostly only have small errors.
That Venonat has a small line on the left. It's not a one time error because I've got two of them with the same black line. Has anybody got that same errorcard?
