10/5/24 UPDATE*** – Almost a year since last update. Since then, the final holo Base Set holo shift was found… a Gyarados! I’m adding 2 photos of that and a stronger Venusaur holo shift as well! Other notable edits include: added Ninetales holoshift closeup, added strongest Magneton white ink stain variant, added Nidoking additional blue holo ink error, added new variation of Mewtwo jumbled text, added Mewtwo missing Illus. error, added back the Hitmonchan left side red stain, added new white edge of holo errors 6 cards, added Alakazam inverted back edge of sheet, added dark gold border shadowless Diglett/Machop/Machoke, added the Dragonair Dragon Ballz error 4 variations, added a new Haunter shadowless black ghost hickey variant pic, added Abra Jet plane closeup pic, added new Diglett magenta obstruction error, added new Tangela bottom cyan hickey error, added sunbeam Bulbasaur missing gloss phenomenon photos, removed the 2nd Edition Charizard nonholo error.

Hope ya’ll enjoy these new edits took me like 10 hours to do! Please keep this thread alive and message me on IG with photos or any suggestions. Trying to keep this list strictly to the most significant repeating corrected misprints. Peace!

Blue flame magmar and bloody Beedrill are the best!

You were the one asking for better photos to the owner of the Gyarados?

Got a rather rare Base set 2 squirtle error card only a few to exist, I call it the Green line Squirtle

Didn’t see this one in the list.

Green dot/triangle Ninetales (shadowless):

@needszeebs posted about theirs here in a Recent Purchases thread.


@kromaticlanturn found another one on Ebay here.


And if you just search green dot Ninetales on Google, you’ll find these other two:

One on Ebay AU:

Hey, want to share with you this pretty cool misprint on a french Alakazam, not in the list. Enjoy :slight_smile:

Nice French misprint. I’ve indeed seen that error at least once before on Alakazam. Although I do feel it can be reproduced with the sun, though. :thinking:

Anyway, this thread is focused on the English Base Set misprints, instead of all languages. :slight_smile: Since you’re not the first, I took the liberty of updating @misprintjeff’s thread title to reduce confusion in the future.

Greetz,

I have a scan of my grey print Hitmonchan if you’d like to use this instead.



I also have a heart stamp Magnemite that relates to your Face Hickey
Also, not sure what to call these, but I came across these three at a LCS. Yellow streaks over the names (bonus hickey on the Ponyta).
