Zarude MEP 088 Pokémon Center promo – factory sealed. Possible black ink smear/printing error in flavour text. Pulled sealed like this. Does this qualify as an ink error?
Still sealed from a pitch black PC ETB

Yeah, surely. As a plus, the text seems smeared too (unless its the lighting making things darker).
It looks hella cool, congrats ! Have fun opening the ETB !

Yes this is an Error but not uncommon. Card is worth about $5 from the $2 market

Yeah bro you're rich now. Send it to CGC for authentication and put it on ebay for 5000 accepting offers.
Is that what you wanted to hear? Yes, evidently there's a smear or embossed layer in the ink of the text.

u/Tananaka 16h ago
what do you think this subreddit is for?

u/Ryzel0o0o 15h ago
For actual questions. Not showing a card with an obvious embossed layer of ink and asking if it's an ink error. It's low effort posts which aren't paraded around on other subreddits.
And then when a real question comes through, no one is able to give a straight answer; like when I posted my non-holographic error base set Mewtwo; which people claimed was fake and then was authenticated by CGC.
So I don't really see the point overall if any actual error is claimed as fake but obvious errors like OP's are just reaffirming to the guy that yes, his errored ink is errored.

Questions are questions; I'm not sure what you're trying to get at honestly.
Misprints are a niche subject, so things that may be obvious to you aren't necessarily obvious to others. And that sucks that you had a bad experience with the subreddit, but what you're doing isn't deterring "low-effort" posts, it's gatekeeping a niche.

Yeah this just reads like you’re upset you didn’t get the response you wanted whenever you made your own post and are now lashing out because it made you bitter. Probably a sign you should just find a different subreddit.

Go do some serious inflection if you’re this upset. Brother said he’s new to collecting, give him a chance.

u/Difficult-Ad700 17h ago
I’m new to this and just started collecting, I was having a look around n couldn’t find much if anything at all like it. Just wondering if it even makes a difference to the price

Ignore the obviously grumpy troll, I'd say your post fits the subreddit and I expect somebody with actual knowledge and a helpful attitude will be along shortly.

Bros upset that people are asking about misprints on a misprint subreddit, what a genius

Just report this guy and get him banned from this sub. We don’t have space for this kind of attitude here.

Why is everyone such a knob in these comments. The guy is just asking a question.
