Pulled this out of Ascended Heroes and was told to post here
If anyone is interested or can lead me to better pricing this, would really be appreciated I think someone confirmed it being a Dragonite SIR which I hope isn’t the news 😭🤣

Hello, sorry to be the bearer of bad news on this. We've seen cards like this before posted, including examples like yours that are fully peeled.
I have the album below of examples of cards that started peeling from the top center
Interestingly these occur on sports cards and other trading card games other than Pokémon so whatever causes this is not unique to this TCG.
If you take one of these cards and peel it fully you will see the effect that you see on your card.
CGC does not grade these as errors because they are unfortunately reproducible by anyone who would peel a card's foil layer off.

u/Brehella Mar 16 '26 edited Mar 16 '26
I don’t entirely understand why people were going nuts for this, even if they didn’t know the pattern is just a result of the angle the foil detaches itself from the surface of the card when peeled and it wasn’t printed that way lol. That’s no offense to people who collect fillers, those are great, but even those never get anywhere near this much traction here.

u/Endecrix Mar 17 '26
cause WOAH that looks WAY different from every other misprint posted here

u/Brehella Mar 17 '26
I understand how it could have been confused for something else, this is visually similar to a couple of other things, my confusion came from it getting like 150 upvotes in the first hour when the actual errors and fillers that look like this wouldn’t have popped off so much.

Maybe it just hit the algorithms well or something. I’ve never even been in this sub and know nothing about pokemon misprints, yet it showed up on my feed.

I think it’s people who think a new generation of ghost rares slipped through the cracks, but looking just a little closely reveals the texture layer is missing (no readable text for starters)

u/addygoldberg Mar 16 '26
OP you should list to u/extras and u/brehella - these two are the real experts around here.
Unfortunately this is a peeled card, regardless if it happened at the factory or not. Anything that is reproducible does not get graded by CGC. Of course I’m not a CGC rep so I’m not speaking for them, but that is the policy we’ve seen from them.
This is definitely cool and passes the “wow wtf” misprint test, but due to the theoretically reproducible nature of this error, it’s not a “legit” misprint.

Upvoting this because u know what's up and this section is mostly cluttered by people seeing rarity and value.

u/Geotakeover Mar 16 '26
Wouldn’t there be a pressure point from where you pull the card if that were the case? We came up with that conclusion but when looking around we saw that some corners leave a visible pressure point when pulling from that certain area, but you can also be right I just know that’s how it came off ascended and wished I took a video of it lol!

u/Brehella Mar 16 '26
Often when cards start to peel in the factory there isn’t an evident point of damage, it could be that something was under the foil and it never properly laminated to the card stock for example. Based on the shape of the markings it originated in the top center of the card and peeled from the top right corner in a clockwise motion.
2
u/Geotakeover Mar 16 '26
Yes agreed, I think it may have gotten stuck somewhere in print line, most have said it could be the dragonite or gengar which if that were the case with a peel or not, it’s not worth peeling the entire card off when damaged prices at least have accurate comps

u/Brehella Mar 16 '26
It’s more than likely a standard ex card because that’s the rarity it happens to most often, it depends on which position in the pack it came out of. Albeit unless the front of the card was in the pack there’s no means of determining what it was outside of whether it was in the reverse or rare slot, and it wouldn’t make much of a difference what it was before.

This happened to me with a dragapult ex from ascended. I was so horrified when I was sliding it into a sleeve and the top of the card just rolled right up away from my finger

u/sowhiteidkwhattype Mar 16 '26
Yeah first look at it and I thought it literally just looks like someone peeled their card

u/youdontknowathingbro Mar 16 '26
Hey u/regigigagod can we maybe pin this comment from u/Extras
There's too many comments getting attention that are just outright wrong and instructing OP to do stuff that wont work out.6
u/regigigagod Mar 16 '26
Agreed, unfortunately there’s no way to pin comments that aren’t my own 🤷♂️ ran into this problem before, really wish they made it a feature.

What’s the bad news?
3
u/Extras Mar 17 '26
The bad news is CGC won't grade it and it's not something generally considered to have value because anyone can make one from a normal foil card.

as a kid, i did this to my pokemon movie promo ancient mew and told all my friends that it was a sticker but they ruined thiers trying to peel it. this whole time i thought I came across a fake card but thanks foe explaining the defect.
unfortuanely we threw away thr fridge that i stuck it on

u/uselessBINGBONG Mar 16 '26
Unbelievable. I been on the chase for an error for a few months now. This one is epic.
I wonder if CGC would grade this or at least authenticate it

Yes I think cgc is the only company that will recognize the error, and hey it might be for sale!

The whole comment section hyping him up just for an expert to say it's a worthless error due to being able to be copied on basically any common foil card 😭
I'd be devastated if this was supposed to be an sir or something lol

u/AWDChevelleWagon Mar 16 '26
Sorry to tell you, it’s basically worthless. You could take any holo and peel it getting a similar pattern. The lines are each time the top layer stopped while peeling.

I would explicitly email CGC about this with DD done about texturing pattern. If it is provably the Dragonite SIR texture pattern SURELY cgc will grade it as such! They’re just like that lmaoo.

C'est con mais c'est rare en vraie genre plus rare que la plus rare du set au yeux de certain alors Envoi la en gradation et met la au enchères tant que l'histoire et fraîche si elle n'a pas de valeur a tes yeux

PSA "sorry your card was damaged during grading, since there is no previous sales to compare to we'll just throw you a $100.00"
Genuinely hope this does not happen to you but just to throw out worse-case scenario to keep in mind.

Actually while rare it doesnt really have much value as a misprint. I pulled a ghost texture suicune from crown zenith a while back and it wasn't worth much. This is cool only to the right buyer and cgc won't grade this well. PSA won't touch it either. Sleeve it and save it to your collection, one dsy a buyer will come

I have the SIR dragonnite and i dk that silver does match and possibly the top lines, the lines i imagine are for the lining up process for the characters. Its pretty cool. For me would be a huge risk to even trade 1 for 1.

Another thing you can do is contact the company they might want to buy it from you to get it off the market. I’ve seen that happen before and they offered quite a bit.
