At another forum I am at, there's an argument whether this is a real misprint or just a cleverly done fake. I think there's something off about it, but I can't put my finger on it. If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

Comparing these two...im thinking its a fake. Particulary due to the distance between the letters on the attack.
 
I agree with you, the font jumped out at me as being a little off, but I guess other people don't see it that way.
 
I am guessing that its a fake mostly due to the water symbol on the upper right corner and by the attack is a little off. The water symbol thing in the middle of the energy is lower than normal.
 
No doubt it's fake. I just emailed the user, since he's been one of my ebay customers in the past about it. I certainly hope the seller is willing to take care of it for him.

As honestly as i can? Why not just honestly?
Be warned???? I would never buy something that the seller itself is warning me.
I am not a pokemon master??? We all know that the pokemon master core values include being honest:p, so this guy is clearly trying to get easy money.
 
I bet it's fake. The font doesn't look like regular Pokemon cards, and I bet if you were holding the card right now, you'd find some other flaws unlike a regular Pokemon card.
 
Obvious fake is obvious.

Actually, that's one of the worst fakes I've ever seen. They didn't even attempt to match the fonts up. I feel sorry for the sap that dropped 20 quid on it.

No need to continue this discussion.
