It's easy to make mistakes. Everyone does! Of course the same applies when it comes to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon TCG. Over two billion cards printed⛦ means that error cards are n♎ow easier to come across than ever.

It's definit🎃ely worth checking through those Pokemon cards stockpiled away in the cupboard — there might be a slight de༺fect on one or two of them, and the fun thing about error cards is that the range of errors is almost endless, and each error card is unique.

Updated on October 30, 2024, by Ryan Hay: There are more and more Pokemon TCG cards releasing all the time, and with more cards than ever before in the hands of players, you know that they're going to be more critical than ever over the cards that they open. There are some more common printing errors like crimping, while others are still quite rare, like double printing the artwork on a card. If you're curious about one that you might have, take a gander at these unique cards.

16 ꧅ Misspelled Cards

Typos Aplenty

W🔯ith over a thousand Pokemon, remembering how to spell them all can be a real test. Xerneas? Exeggcute? Get outta here. Apparently, the folks at the Pokemon Company suffer from this too. Pokemon, moves, brands, and illustrators have all been spelled incorrectly. Examples include...

• Nintedo
• Phanphy
• Team Mamga
• Psyduck
• Dark Exeggcutor

...but rest assured that there are many, many more. Most of these can be piꦉcked up for a couple of bucks online, though th🌱e Ancient Mew that reads 'Nintedo' can get a little pricey. Treat misspelled cards with caution, though, as they could also be indicative of a fake.

15 𓂃 Miscut Cards

It's Hard Getting Those Cutlines Right

Miscut cards are just that — miscut. Cards are printed on a large scale. Sheets of cards that are (usually) 11 by 11 are cut into individuals within the factory, but therein lies the risk of human error. Sometimes, the cards will be slightly misaligned before being divided and this results in cards with thicker or thinner borde🔯rs than usual.

These are some of the more common error cards, but as one can imagine, cards with more noticeably disproportionate borders are often worth more. Most miscuts are just minor misalignments, with the card sheet ༺slipping slightly while being cut. Other times, it can be more severe, as with the Okidogi EX, which has part of an entirely different card on it.

14 🐈Blank Cards

Surprise! It's Nothing

No, it isn't a Normal-type full-art🅷 Reshiram (the Vast White Pokemon!) on a snowy day. This is a pretty extreme printing error. Sometimes, the front of the card will not be prin♋ted correctly, resulting in a completely blank card!

What's more, sometimes these cards still retain their hol✃ographic foil, resulting in a sparkly white card. These cards are quite a hot commodity wit🐎hin the error card hunting community, so fans will want to keep their eyes peeled.

13 🌊 Prerelease Raichu

Rumor Turned Real

Prerelease cards are particular cards that are printed with a 'P🍰RERELEASE' or expansion logo stamp to promote a new set, often given out at special events. Legend has it that during the printing of a Jungle Clefable prerelease card, the stamp ended up on a certain number of Base Set Raichus, and so the elusive Prerelease Raichu was born.

This card was only a hint of a rumor for years. But in recent times, at least two confirmed♌ copies have been verified by the grading company, CGC Cards. The exact number of copies released into the wilds of early Pokemon TCG fans is unknown but is believed to be in the low double digits. The two confirmed copies of the Prerelease Raichu were verified by David Persin, who owns the most complete English Pokemon collection in the world, and by former Wizards of the Coast employees, the original publisher of the game.

12 Mag꧂ic: The Gathering x Pokemon

A Partnership Made In Cards

Very early on in the series, a small set of cards was printed with the wrong backing. Both Pokemon and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering w🌼ere handled by the sam𓆉e company — Wizards of The Coast.

Evi🎀dently, somewhere along the line, Wizards used Magic: The Gathering card stock to print a few Pokemon🍃 test cards. Only a few cards have been officially certified as genuine (Blastoise, Arcanine, and Growlith, all of which sell for some nice pocket change) but there exist photos of Growlithe and Arcanine cards with the same defect.

Other interesting points to noteಌ about this card include a small lightning bolt next to Blastoise's HP and the use of a different font to the one we all know and love. Due to its scarcity, this card could match Prerelease Ra෴ichu in price.

11 Flippe🥃d-Logo Movie Promo

Only Found In Theaters

During the t👍ime that the first Pokemon movie was in cinemas, special promo cards were given out to anyone who bought a ticket. These cards were Mewtwo, Electabuzz, Pikachu, and Dragonite. Each was printed with a gold 'Pokemon: The First Movie' stamp in the top right corner of the artwork.

For some reason, a few of these were flipped during stamping and ended up with the logo on the bottom left of the card instead. While everyone in the sc🍬hoolyard seemed to have one of the movie promos, the flipped stamp error card is highly rare anꦛd can fetch upwards of a few hundred dollars on eBay.

10 Fo✨r Position Only

A Unique Font

Like most products, Pꦅokemon cards are given a test run before being mass-produced and sold to the public. Obviously, these test cards will not be able to be sold, so it's important to mark them in some way, shape, or form that says "d🍷o not sell me."

"For Position Only" works well, right? No one will want these cards with big ugly white text over t⛦he face of their favorite seven-foot nightmare cobra, right? Right? Over 100 of these cards escaped being thrown away and have appeared on eBay and Pokemon TCG collectionꩲ sites, all with a price tag that one might have to take out a loan for.

9 ꦡ Misaligned Holos

Slightly Shifted

Much like the miscut cards,�ꦐ� misaligned holographic cards occur when the holographic foil is moved slightly during printing, creating a 3D or cut-out effect, such as on the Fossil Articuno card pictured.

Misaligned holo cards are somewhat closer to miscuts than 'For Position Only' cards in terms of value, but they aren't cheap. Like miscut cards, misaligned holos tend to be worth more based upon how ba⛦dly misaligned they are. Do note that this error is most common on the pre-E-Series Wizards of The Coast cards.

8 ☂ Double Print Cards

Two For The Price Of One

On the exceptionally rare occasion, a card sheet will be sent through🃏 twice. When that 🥀happens, the odds that it is going to cause some extraordinary errors are very high.

That's exactly what we're looking at with this curious graded card. On the top half of the card, a Feraligatr. On the bo⛄ttom, is Professor Oak's New Theory. Both these cards are in Portuguese so if you're having trouble making out the text, that's why. This very unique error might not come aro🐓und very often, but it's certainly a collector's delight.

7 Holo B💃leed Cards 🉐

A Little Extra Shiny

Returning to a more affordable style of error cards, we have the violent-sounding Holographic Bleed card🌳s. The 'bleed' here refers to the fact that the holographic effect 'bleeds' onto the area of the card that is not usually holographic. See? That's not so bad.

If there's an error most likely to be in someone's collection, it's🍸 a bleeder or a miscut. Like most other cards on this list, the degree of error here is what defines the worth of your card (also if it has that big orange lizard on it, it's probably worth a few cents regardless).
