Coro Coro Print Error?

Hello,

I’ve been on the lookout to add a Coro Coro shining mew to my collection, and recently came across one claiming to be print error in Blue instead of Purple. I’ve searched e4, eBay sold listings, bulbapedia, and the interwebs, but haven’t seen/heard of this issue yet with other Coro Coro promos.

Has anyone heard of this printing error before?

Would love to hear the much more seasoned experts weigh in!
Thank you!

Nope, unfortunately it is a sun-faded card. There are some Team Rocket folk sun-fading corocoro mews on purpose to sell them as “errors” to unsuspecting collectors.

This was an experiment done in the UK after 62 days in the sun - confirming that these are indeed sun-faded damaged cards.

That makes total sense thank you for sharing the resource and confirmation! It seemed suspect, but I’ve seen some interesting errors. Without the same level of experience yet to draw on, that’s what makes e4 so awesome!

Thanks again!

Thank you! I couldn’t find that for the life of me, but realize I need to work on my search terms! LOL. Definitely very informative and helpful, and no doubt that’s the same thing I ran across…
