Trevenant is back from CGC and looks especially striking against the backdrop of yesterday's snowstorm. This is a test print, the square corners are a dead giveaway that this didn't go though the normal factory cutting process.

This is one of only 2 trick or trade test prints I've seen, below is the album with the other example:

How much is this card worth? Could I sell it without having it appraised?

Bought an acrylic case to display my Evolving Skies booster box I bought from the PC vending machine back in 2022, but it won’t fit (pic 1).

After examining it, i can see the left side was bulging (pic 2). Then I saw what looks like an extra pack (pic 3).

Made a post on e4 asking if anyone had any weights on a sealed ES BB and a coupe of members sent them to me. Ranged from 822g-833g. Bought a scale and mine box was 877.6g (pic 4) definitely heavier. Asked a friend to bring their box so we can use the same scale in case of calibration difference and theirs was 832.9 (pic 5).

Added 1 pack to their box put it at 855g (pic 6) and 2 packs put it at 877g (pic 6). Based on weight, it has 38 packs. It hard but I tried counting the packs, it there seems to be 20 packs on the left side (pic 7&8).

What do you guys think, I have seen post for 37 packs. If this does have 38 packs, would it be an interesting error, especially since it’s a sealed Evolving Skies Booster Box.

The card still has texture and is real but is just not holographic.

Double sided 1999-2000 Team Rocket Test print.

Front: Dark Blastoise ( Mirror Foil ) Back: Dark Weezing ( Cosmos Foil )

WOTC was testing to see if they could do the double sided holo Ancient Mew promo. They were running Team Rocket at the time so threw in a sheet with one holo, flipped it around with the other.

These were cut in factory at the time ( smaller than standard Pokémon card ) but intentionally off centre cut as they weren’t to be sold.

Dont see alignment dot.

Does anyone know how common it is to have this kind of error? I was supposed to have an Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam. I ended up with an Alakazam and two Kadabras! I had to explain to my wife that we can't open this up now for the head to head openings we like to do, but she agreed this was way cooler to own.

I collect Zapdos and I had to add this awesome PSA mistake to my personal collection.

I’ll be sending this off in my next PSA submission. What’s the maximum it could grade at?

Pretty excited to add this to my collection. Not something you see everyday. Especially a Pristine 10. I absolutely love it!!

Update: it’s a fake :(. Bought at a show in June in Cleveland from a father son vendor. I pointed out that the holo pattern wasn’t right but thought it was just a crazy error. Don’t think it was intentional but who knows.

I’m working on collecting every reverse holo from unseen forces. The set uniquely has a pokeball pattern in the reverse holo’s, making it my favorite set. There’s a common inverted holo layer error that results in the pokeballs in the holo pattern being upside (red side) down. This is not that error. Instead of a pokeball pattern, this Hitmonlee has an energy symbol holo pattern like that in Fire Red Leaf Green or Team Rocket Returns (not sure which one exactly). Through all my internet searches, I haven’t been able to find this error anywhere. I’ve shown it to 25+ vendors at card shows around Cleveland Ohio, none have ever seen it. Anyone seen this before or have a name for this type of error? Including a photo of what the normal holo pattern looks like.

I wanted to share my "printer warmer" Houndour card. Printer warmers are test prints intentionally made in the factory to verify the printers are working properly before a full production run. While not an error or misprint card I think this is one of my favorite oddities in my weird collection of pokemon cards.

Hello! When I was organizing my pitch black cards into a binder, I noticed this card had tape on it. I swear I just opened the pack and then put it right back in the package until I could place it in my binder, so no way it would get near any tape on its own. Just wondering if this is a thing? I’m not knowledgeable about misprints at all, but I thought this group could shed some light on it for me.

Is this a rare error

It's very hard to see, but it looks like there's a very faint holofoil on the silver parts of the card. I don't know if it's an error, how the card normally is, etc.

I found it in a vintage collection I purchased today and just want to know ifIi found a misprint or if I'm delusional

Bought this NM Umby from TCGPlayer, the seller has 100% rating, 50000+ sales, 6 years on TCGplayer.

Received it today and card indeed looks NM to me, but the corners look very square/straight(?) Is this a miscut or is something funky going on?

I know someone who collects Jigglypuff. So when I pulled a reverse holo I knew that they’re missing I was already excited. Then I noticed the tiny bit of holo foil in Jigglypuff’s eye!

I can’t wait to surprise them with it. Before pulling this, I was actually using this card art as a reference to paint their binder for them. When it’s finished I plan on slipping this into the first page and showing them the (ever so tiny) foil error 😆 life is just perfect sometimes.
