Has anyone ever seen a "Pokeball" on a Base Set Charizard?

I was rearranging some of my cards today and I noticed something that’s only on one of my base set Charizards, and I thought it was pretty cool. At the bottom of the red flame coming out of Charizard’s mouth, there is a holofoil circle that is split in half by the red flame and the lighter background, so it creates what looks like a Pokeball. I went through about a dozen other base Charizards and none had anything similar. Has anyone else seen this before?

That is really neat… also owning a dozen more charizards lol

This is super cool. And the fact that it is on a 1st edition Zard in PSA 9 makes it that much better. Hang on to that card buddy! Could be one of a kind on an already insanely expensive card.

One of a kind ‘errors’ like these can often decrease the value of an expensive card, kind of like a signature.

First off I apologize for the quality of the image… My phone literally has cracked glass just beside the camera.
After you posted I decided to look at my first ed zard and although my “pokeball” is nowhere near as pronounced as your finding I did find something similar.

I wonder if because we are pokemon fans we just happen to see what we want to lol.

This concept is called synchronicity, when the stars align and 2 or more seemingly unrelated factors coincidentally align in a meaningful way. Like @mcrizz, said, it says more about humans and our tendency to find patterns and connection between things than anything else. But it is cool!

It’s a holo dot in between the artwork lines and the background.

I swear I saw a card listed on ebay with this exact “ERROR/MISPRINT” a few days ago. Not sure if it was a charizard or something else, I just remember seeing it listed for absurd price. Its cool, its nothing more than a holo spec located in a cool spot.

Edit: Appears it wasn’t the EXACT same thing, but it was This Skyridge Gengar
