Japanese Base Set Bold Print

I’m a Venusaur collector and I was thumbing through my cards when I noticed one of the Venusaurs appeared to be in bolder print than the others. Has anyone had a similar print like this for their Japanese base set? I tried getting a clean photograph of the foil, but the bold print appears to be more of a deeper emerald color. For my photos, I kept the light the same and positioned the card stand and my camera in the exact positions.

@smokemon,I noted that recently there was one YJA seller who was specifically describing his Venusaur as an “error” variant with darker green colors, but I can’t find the listing anymore (tried to go back to see if there was a difference in the font). Very interesting.

God that no rarity is beautiful. What a crisp picture. I bow to the Venus. I am its humble servant.

I do believe I saw that too. I was wondering if a few runs had a similar error but only the Venusaur has surfaced
