Misprint? Fake?

I found this while going through my collection. It's a 1st ed. Electrode from Jungle with Base Electrode's picture. What's your opinion?

That looks pretty legit. And that is totally awesome! I would have to say PUSA made another mistake! Please PM me for it XD!

It's a real error card. I have a few copies myself (in my eBay store for like $10 I think), and if you look at the non-holo Jungle card scan of the Electrode in the Jungle set, it pictures that error card (I've told WPM a million times).

They had made it a long time ago by accident, so yeah, it's rare and real!

Someone must have not had their coffee when they printed this card. This is a real error card, and quite a spectacular one, as well. I have one just like it.

There have been some other rather silly errors in the TCG as well. For example, on some prints of Base Set Diglett, one of the Fighting Energy symbols is turned sideways...

It's really not all that rare. I'd say I come across an equal number of these as I come across the ones with the correct picture.

Cool. Yeah, they go for about $9-$10 on ebay, which is a pretty penny for a Rare. Might be a little more because this one is 1st Edition...

There are no REAL unlimited copies of this error card.

Wow, Wizards of the Coast must have been TRYING to do that...
