I remember reading a comment where I think you stated you had a square cut first edition base set mewtwo? Am I right? What’s the story on the square cuts? Did some show up in booster packs or were all square cuts smuggle jobs that left WOTC under the radar or were hand cut by people who had uncut sheets? (Which I’m guessing were also smuggle out of the factory jobs as well)

Does anyone know where the thread is that I described the square cuts?

You mean this quote? It’s an old one.

@KingPokemon

Oh it’s real. Many sheets went uncut only to be cut later and some were even test cut for alignment purposes.

This card, along with a couple dozen more i have, came directly from Wizards as replacement cards. Back in 1999 I would send back 20 or so base set shadowed holos a week as defective which were usually replaced with shadowless cards…which is why I was doing it and also why I still have MANY hundreds of shadowless holos to this day;) Well, one week my replacements came and they were all shadowed square cuts.

Another top eBay seller got a few the exact same way. And there’s a couple of eBay sellers still around who got just shadowless the same way.

As a side note…after about 10/12 months the replacements started coming back normal shadowed cause we already emptied out the original replacement stock.

Hope that info helps:)
