Here one more error variant Iā€™m aware of for the unlimited edition Holofoil version. They forgot to apply the solid black layer by the looks of it, causing everything to appear grey instead: ![](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/f/d/fd58ca7fb1e2b5571bde4d2089be53279c70c6b2.jpeg) Some more examples for other Team Rocket cards with this misprint in this thread, so itā€™s not a one-time occurrence: [www.elitefourum.com/t/are-theses-cards-missprint/24848/1](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/are-theses-cards-missprint/24848/1) Also, here a video by @pkmnflyingmaster about how PokĆ©mon cards are printed and how certain misprints can occur. With this misprint above, the solid black layer seems to be missing: [![](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5baf34f41240604fe8b333a7f759e393011e32a6.jpeg "HOW POKEMON CARDS ARE MADE + errors and misprints") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15gsDW6i97c) EDIT: It might actually also be possible the black ink was simply running low, since the artwork itself is lacking black as well, which wouldnā€™t have a solid black layer applied later on a.f.a.i.k.

@quuador Do we have proof that this happened to more than one print? All of the pictures that Iā€™ve seen are unique cards that could have been from the same printed sheet. Iā€™d be interested to see multiple of the same card with this problem šŸ˜Š ---

All of the pictures that Iā€™ve seen are unique cards that could have been from the same printed sheet. Iā€™d be interested to see multiple of the same card with this problem šŸ˜Š Iā€™m afraid the four cards shown in that Efour thread (Dragonite; Charizard; Gyarados; and Raichu) are the only ones Iā€™ve seen.

@quuador They definitely look like a lot of the fake cards Iā€™ve seen. Do you know if thereā€™s any substantial proof that these are legit? Iā€™d love to see these cards being pulled from a pack to know that they werenā€™t just a fake print šŸ™ ---

Iā€™d love to see these cards being pulled from a pack to know that they werenā€™t just a fake print šŸ™ Iā€™m pretty sure theyā€™re indeed legit, and simply missing the solid black ink layer. The Dark Raichu is owned by @acebren if Iā€™m not mistaken, and I think (not sure) the Gyarados is owned by @shizzlemetimbers , so maybe they can provide a bit more information or other examples of this type of misprint.

Team Rocket suffers from a bunch of errors. A lot of the unlimited holos were printed with a low level of ink. The cards look faded. I have a dragonite that is just like Quuadors ---
