Ruling Were these cards ever corrected?

I've recently set out to accomplish one of my incomplete childhood dreams, which is to gather the entire Basic, Jungle, Fossil, and Team Rocket sets. Part of this endeavor is also arranging a separate segment of my binder to keep the misprints of the sets. However, it seems like a lot of the cards might not have been corrected. So I'm a little conflicted here.

I was wondering, were any of these cards corrected (in America)?
-Gyarados (Misaligned set number)
-Vulplix (Inverted HP Indication)
-Dark Arbok (Copyright 23000)
-Holographic Dark Dragonite (Misaligned Energy Cost)
-Dark Golbat(s) (Missing word "Don't" and lacking spacing)
-Dark Vileplume (Fighting weakness)
-Dark Rapidash (Missing word "length")

Any help would be great, thanks!
 
I have the English 1st edition of Dark Golbat and it contains no misprints whatsoever. I also have an English shadowless Gyarados which also contains no misprints.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by corrected in America. Misprints are not corrected they just happen rarely or occasionally. If you were to make up and English set I'm sure you wouldn't come across any misprinted DEPENDING on where you got the cards.

Hope that helps.

I know that some misprints were corrected. For example, for the first half of production Seaking and Rapidash contained a misprint that said "Put Seaking/Rapidash on the Stage 1 card" despite Goldeen and Ponyta being Basic. About half way through the production of the Base Set, the misprint was corrected resulting in the card being issued correctly.

I don't believe very many UK cards were misprinted, other than Vulpix, which was corrected in the UK and Australia for sure.

1st Ed Rocket only contained one issue as far as I know, and that was some of the Dark Dragonites not getting "foiled".

Shadowless Base cards are practically an entirely seperate set from Base 1. They share entirely different issues.

Untrue. Some weren't ever corrected.

Correct other than the fact that no printing of Base 1 went off without a hitch.

Well, then how come I've got the exact same Vulpix (about 6 or 7 of them (picture displayed)) & I happen to live in Australia?
Only mines not 1st edition.

Because she's wrong. With Wizards, all the English cards were produced together, not country by country. I'd imagine it's still the same today, but I'm not sure about that.

I have bought tens of thousands of old cards from people in the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia, and never had a difference between them (especially in terms of the older ones).
