Lugia AA printing error?

Pack fresh and sleeved but after looking back I noticed something in the top left corner of the card.

Looked for other examples but couldn’t find any. I assume it’s just a factory error or something as it’s imprinted on the card

Any information would be helpful.

I believe that this could be the result of an obstruction.

Occasionally, when the ink is transferred from the printing plate to the blanket, a piece of debris can get stuck to either the blanket or the sheet of cards being printed, and block ink from reaching the surface of the card.

Interesting. Thanks for the information! I don’t plan on grading it ever but was just super curious and after reading the obstruction it makes perfect sense.
