Collecting "How Much is This Card Worth?" / "Is This a Good Trade?"
- Thread starter Soul
- Start date
So I just went through my collection of cards, and I noticed these two Slaking, where one of the two has a noticeable brighter holo coloration than the other. I don't know if it's a misprint or not, but I'll post them here anyway 
I can post other photos if wanted

They look the same to me
I was looking at my M Gardevoir FA's noticed something on both that seems like a printing error but since it's on both cards I wonder if it is a printing error on every card.
Behind Gardevoir there are gold streaks and the gold streaks don't have texture on them, but Gardevoir does or at least on her arms and most elseware. However if you look at her right arm, the one closest to the camera you can see the flat texture for the streak continues over her arm and so there's a random giant patch with no texture on her arm.
There's two more on her hair so maybe it was intentional but it doesn't look good, poor choice if it is intentional. Maybe it was too difficult to put texture in a location where there's no texture in the background. But since no other card has M Gardevoir FA's background that seems kind of lazy.
I checked Mega Agron and the pink lines go over Aggron, Gardevoir's go behind.

Yeah the bottom one is lighter than the top one. It is just the different texture they used on the cards. The lighter one was made better after the original. Looks like a re release if not in the same set.

I wouldn't say it's extremely rare, but still a nice find! Probably worth about $25. Hope this helped!

I have this misprint , help [Primal Groudon EX]
Hi everyone, I have a Primal Groudon EX misprint. I attached some pictures to show you. As you can see it looks like the factory cut the card wrong and left that imprint on the top of the card. Also, it cut the top off at a slight angle. Are misprints worth anything? Is the fact that it's on a rare card add to the value of it? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I'm new and just started collecting cards again. If anyone can help me that'd be great and much appreciated.
Thanks

No idea what happened here, but it was pretty funny to see!
I have the same Error and I've seen 2 others so it seems I'll have to list this Error card to my "official" Error/Misprintlist
Oh man looks like a bad manufactures crease. My Base Ninetales has a crease like that except it is on the left center of the card instead. That is a severely damaged card man. You may want to see if you can get it replaced. I suggest you contact the Pokemon Company by email with your photos so they can mail you the replacement cards.

Replaced?!?! I love misprints!
If only graded cards would include misprints as not a card defect *sigh*
