RE: The ''How much is a card worth?'' topic.
I found a couple of misprints in my collection which I cannot find any information on.
Sorry the pictures are not very good; my phone is the only camera I own. I tried to angle the pictures so that the holo foil is visible, so thats why some are not angled right. I'm also writing a detatiled written description because of the quality of the pictures.
Ok first,
Houndoom from the Neo Revelations set. This card is only supposed to have the white part of the background holographic, yet my card has the entire background (and some of Houndoom) holographic. I'm most curious about this one.

Next is 1st edition base Machamp
This one has the circle-swirly holo foil, but it is supposed to have the original star foil. The copyright date is 1999, not 1999-2000, so I figure it isn't from a reprint.

Last one with a picture...
Base Set 2 Holographic Magneton has the backside of the card printed off center.

On a final note, I would also like to know which card is rarer the misprint or the correction for the next two.
Fossil Zapdos: I have 3 different versions of the holo for this card
1. 1st edition, copyright 1999, misprint with evolution box stamped out of the holo foil
2. Unlimited, copyright 1999, corrected card
3. Unlimited, copyright 1999-2000, corrected eveolution box error, but this one has the wrong foil type. I didn't think there was a fossil set with this copyright date, none of my other fossil cards have it.
and Base Set Vulpix
1. Misprint with HP 50 instead of 50 HP, copyright 1999
2. Corrected card, still says its part of the Base Set, but the copyright is 1999-2000. I didn't think there was a printing of the base set with this copyright date... None of my other basic cards have this date.
Any advise would be appreciated!

RE: The ''How much is a card worth?'' topic.
I can answer a few of these questions.
The Machamp is a reprint. It was handed out in a Base Set 2 Starter Box that came with a CD Game.
The 1999-2000 Fossil Zapdos was released in the Thunderstorm Gift box. The other Fossil cards released in that gift box have the same 1999-2000 copyright.
The corrected Vulpix is more rare, but mostly outside of the UK. There was a printing of the Base Set released in the UK with te copyright date of 1999-2000.

Might be different print runs. There are others on eBay that look like yours.

RE: The ''How much is a card worth?'' topic.
What about the cards with a crease in them? I have 2 cards that were not caused from bending the cards or anything. Looks like a manufacture's crease on both cards. The crease goes frm the left side near the middle and goes about half way through. The 2 cards are the Base Ninetales and Base Shadowless Gyarados. Thanks XD. They both have this crease on the front and back but does not look like a bend crease. I can't send pics sorry XD.

RE: The ''How much is a card worth?'' topic.
Without pictures, to me, it just seems that your cards are creased. The only other thing I can think of would be one of those lines that usually go across the holographic parts of cards that look like someone lightly sliced the card (but it's a factory thing). I've never heard of anything that shows up on the front and back.

RE: The ''How much is a card worth?'' topic.
I've got something interesting. It's most likely not worth anything (due to the fact there are very few people looking for something like this)
It's a 1st Edition Holo German-Language Base Set Ninetales, PSA Graded 8. I can post pics. Not sure what to do with it. I doubt something like this is even sought after in Germany, let alone the US.

Right, which most likely means different print runs.

RE: The ''How much is a card worth?'' topic.
I'd value an Espeon Start NM/Mint around $80-$90, as that is what I have seen them frequently sell for. However, the prices for both Umbreon and Espeon move around a lot.
As for a PSA 9 Espeon, I would pay around normal price for it, as it just proves the card is NM. So, like SoulWind said, $15 or so more (as that is the average price to get a card graded)

Yea, and to add on to what Daelum said:
Prices on those cards seem to fluctuate a bit but they're typically on the high-end.
I remember seeing a NM/M Umbreon Star sell for $45 about a year ago and right now I see a lot have sold around $80-90.

Yeah that is what I am talking about. Sorry I don't know how to do pics from my phone to my computer as it is very confusing to do XD. How much would they be worth with those lines XD?
