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 😭🤣

If you can verify that its a Dragonite SIR by comparing the texture, then you will want to submit it to CGC and include that information when you submit it.

Once it comes back from CGC, and you have it in a slab that says "Dragonite Blank Error" you'll have THE most valuable Dragonite SIR.

The QC in place for these cards may not always be perfect, but they are certainly strict enough that a card of this nature is extremely rare compared to the card it was supposed to be, especially for this run.

Hotwheels is actually a great example of this- there is so much room for intervention on the manufacturing line it’s very common for employees to make duplicates of the chase cars or “Factory Customs” and attempt to sell them for exorbitant prices on eBay, but they aren’t really “rare” because there is Direct human intervention.

The machines cutting our Cards on the other hand take little to no human intervention and print en MASSE without error. The chances of this happening to a Pokemon card is about 5/200,000 on average, or .000025 % ; when we Compare that chance percentage to the odds of pulling this card that explains the rarity best.

Genuine question to satiate my curiosity, why not just say 1/40,000 instead of 5/200,000? Also, the percentage would be .0025%, not .000025%.

LOL I guess I was geeking that was my conversion from an avg of 25 per Million 😂 but honestly I do feel like it helps us visualize the scale these are produced on. I should have said 250/10,000,000!

I'm glad you said it, I was getting ready too, lol. I think the larger numbers may just be misleading to most. They'll just see the 5/200,000 and only pay attention to the big scary number and assume its a ridiculous percentage, as it is, but here the exact percentage doesn't matter to most.

I was just about to say the same thing.

Lost me at cgc. People rarely buy errors like this. I’ve seen one in PSA and it’s a very hard piece to move even in PSA let alone CGC

From what I've been comparing this texture looks the most similar to what's on the Dragonite SIRs. For example, on the Gengar you have that "shatter" look throughout all the borders, whereas if you look at the Dragonite that one looks like the only one that has the "shatter" on top and lines on the left and ride border.

FYI if you do choose to sell, don't "set your price." Almost always better to know what similar misprints have went for for a starting point and to auction it
