On the topic of errors, do they exist in the Japanese TCG?

I have seen some miscut before... but the errors in the Japanese TCG is WAY LESS than the English one

There are miscuts, which are somewhat common, but you won't ever see anything drastic.

Also, there is a Ghastly (not sure which set) that has two versions, each with different attacks I believe. It is assumed this is an error.

One more known error: Base Set "No Rarity" cards have been noted to have different information from their later released counterparts. As you may or may not know, the no rarity Base Set cards are considered the 1st edition of the Japanese Base Set - the first cards to ever be printed. When the rarity symbol versions were mass released in the normal Base Set, data was changed, such as Charizard's weight. Some may consider these detail changes to be fixing previous errors, effectively making the no rarity cards error cards, and others just think of it as changes.
 
I am sure there is a error mewtwo vending machine promo for memory or some sort of promo which has wizards or something on mewtwo's leg?
 
I consider them to be 1st edition JPN Base set cards...they are very hard to find.

No drastic miscuts? Say what?!?

The Slowking is my treasure, not sure if I am gonna let it go or not because of how rare it is to see an early Japanese error like that.
 
Ah yes, I forgot about that! That is the most common Japanese error. It is a vending series Mewtwo promo. It has numbers on the leg of the Mewtwo.
 
Ahh yeah that's the one, would you consider a misscut a error card as it is quiet common in all forms of trading cards?
Just like line in foiling and so on
 
Here's the vending Mewtwo error, it's hard to see but look closely at the left leg:

There's also the Japanese Ancient Mew I movie promo. It says "Nintedo" instead of "Nintendo" in the copyright line. It was eventually corrected, but the corrected version is even rarer.

I just realized this isn't the "Card Errors Database" thread. We should be posting these there, I haven't seen anyone post Japanese errors in it yet.
 
I don't really place the Nintedo Ancient Mew error under the Japanese Errors category cause the card isn't in Japanese, just produced in Japan :/
 
Miscutts on the edge of a card =/= an error. Also this was just a ploy to gather attention to the card and get serious offers. I've seen it used, and I have used it. Even then, no Pokemon player has 10,000$ to pay for a $250ish card.

Miscuts can be manufactured, lessening their worth. Seeing how some eBay sellers have an almost unending supply, reaffirms that view.
 
How can a miscut be manufactured unless the card is fake? Cutting up an uncut sheet certainly isn't profitable.

At the printers when cutting, someone purposely miscuts several sheets. It is waste. You go dumpster diving after work. A sheet or 2 gets miscut, the printer does not notice, but the price being asked for some miscuts is a lot. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MISPRINT-Miscut-Error-Pokemon-Card-Eevee-Ultra-Rare-/290925603969?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43bc846c81 A few months ago an eBay seller had over 50 miscuts listed. It was like $10 for a common, $15 for an uncommon, $25 for a rare, and $50 for holo rare. At those prices how much is a sheet worth? How much would you pay someone to miscut a couple of sheets?
 
Human error is just the excuse people use, there is a market for it someone has found it and is abusing it.


I'd say it's just intelligence, most people that make money are making it not through luck,but pure intelligence.
 
The machine or computer robot lol what ever they use to print and cut is only as good as the human operating it and programing it.
Just like computers when the software dose not work properly most people blame the computer but it is actually human error I.E the person programing it.
Yes I am aware that a lot people use it to often but in most cases it is human error.
I also do agree with your statement as well :)

You collect Pokemon cards but can't see the appeal of collecting extremely rare versions of the card? They're like the shiny Pokemon of the card world, they're unique.

Like other have said, it's my way of collecting... I don't care about error cards, why would I? They're imperfections, they shouldn't exist, so I don't like them... The shiny pokémon of the card world are the real extremely rare cards like trophy cards and stuff like that, not cards that have a wrong text line...
I only tolerate error cards with funny errors like the Platinum rev foil Dialga which is Colorless. I have it and I like it because it makes Dialga a Colorless card instead of the usual Metal-type which is funny considering at the time the Dragon-type was represented by Colorless instead of having its own type, so theoretically, the card could be legit...
 
I agree for the most part, it's not like you go and open packs saying "Oh I really hope I get an error card!"

You open booster packs and say "I really I hope I get Shiny ___" or "I hope it's a FA ____"

For that reason I don't consider errors all that valuable. Interesting, yes - but not worth the large price inflation in my opinion, especially for English cards since errors seem pretty common.

Now Japanese error cards, THOSE are rare. I've gone through roughly 12k Japanese cards and hit only 3-4 miscut cards - and these were from Base-PCG and BW1 on. The quality control on Japanese cards is actually pretty amazing.

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 a note of Uncorrected Error.

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

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, or alignment errors. Value is variable and discretionary.
