Oh man that holo shift Clefairy is stunning.
Here is a graded example if you want one to use (aka I want it shown off)

I have this German Seel where the outlines and the Energy symbols don’t align correctly for some reason. Don’t know if It’s a one-off, but haven’t seen another one thus far. Don’t think it really fits in any of your categories, but I’d be happy to let you use the pics if you want to include it

Did the misprint affect the grade in any way?
@muk This thread only includes English WotC cards, though. Otherwise I would know a few more errors, like the French Jungle Eevee (having the flavor text and weakness/resistance/retreat cost of the Fossil Ditto) or French Mewtwo promo (having the incorrect name) or Italian 1st edition non-Holo Fossil Aerodactyl (having an English 1st edition stamp instead of Italian), etc. Then again, I don’t think those have corrected versions.
@jkanly Very cool to see it’s updated a lot already. A few more that come to mind, although no idea how common they are:
- I’ve seen a Neo Discovery Scizor with a similar error as the Neo Revelations Holofoil misprints:
Here is my own regular Scizor to compare it to:
- Another one I recently saw, although I’m pretty sure is fake, is a Dragonair with the same kind of heart stamp as the pink heart Clefairy. I’ve seen it two times thus far, but with the stamp in slightly different positions (near the bottom of the artwork)… Here pictures of those:
Above ‘ra’ in ‘Dragon Pokémon’:
Above ‘ké’ in ‘Dragon Pokémon’:
-
Is the misaligned Base Set Water Energy uncorrected? Can’t remember anymore, but I thought both corrected and error versions were available?
-
The Legendary Collection Reverse Foil Exeggcute is also misprinted with with holofoil Psychic/Grass energy symbols:
PS: Although a cool error for sure, I would exclude the French Crown miscut Scizor. It’s not English, nor from the WotC era… 
PPS: There is a theory that the 1st edition Ivy Pikachu isn’t an error, but intended to be placed in Jungle packs instead. Here the relevant thread with information. I’m not saying it should be removed from the list, but you might want to link to this thread and mention the information.

Are you aware of I think it’s a dark Blastoise that was purposely miscut and given away at conventions? I can’t seem to find it but I swear it exists

@goonhoon no, the grade is accurate / fair, surface was pretty scratched
Doesn’t ring a bell. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Team Rocket square cut to begin with tbh.
Do you remember where you might have read about this?

Found at least one link to what I was talking about.

Is anyone familiar or can contribute further information on a matte holo variant from Base set? The holo looks thicker and does not shine the same way, as if there is a matte surface layer added to the regular holo layer. This one and another Chansey I know of are both from Seattle, Washington collections; could just be a location coincidence but potentially suggests a WOTC print test, so wanted to gather info.
I’m learning about this 1st Edition Ivy Pikachu for the first time and it is blowing my mind.
On pokemonprice.com I’m trying to dig up the pop on it but I’m not even sure what it is classified under. Is it this one? www.pokemonprice.com/CardDetails/3e3c8fb4-3575-4532-a7a6-af7220997d50/pikachu-1st-edition-black-star
And was pulling it in a 1st Edition Jungle pack the only way to get a 1st Edition Ivy Pikachu?
Boggling my brain because then this was basically the first “secret rare” Pokemon card, in a way…

Will need additional photos. If you find additional photos please let me know! 
@muk @qwachansey Thank you both for your contributions! They will all be added
@qwachansey The matte holo Chansey you noted appears to be a form of foil damage I’m familiar with that can happen post-production and can be created/replicated. If you have it in hand please message me a few more photos of the holo from at angle and I should be able to confirm.

You’re referring to the STS Dark Blastoise “miscut” card. Its counterpart is shown in the “Test cards” section of the guide. It’s a card which was printed with holofoil and (frontside) artwork on both front and back. A couple members here used to own that copy (I’ll let them step forward if they desire).
Please see red text

I’ve got an unlimited chansey with a similar holofoil, message me if you’d like a picture

Yes, they probably tried to correct it, but caused a second error instead.
Here the same picture with a hopefully non-broken link:
If you look at the Psychic and Grass energy which were misaligned in that other error that’s already in your article, they are now covered in Firework holofoil as well, but are supposed to be non-holo like the other three Energy symbols (weakness Fire, retreat cost Colorless, and the one next to the HP Grass).

I’ve asked about this card before on E4, but wondering if some of you in this thread who have a ton of error experience have ever seen something like this from Team Rocket.
It’s an Unlimited Dark Charizard Holo with a thin film and slice through the middle of the card. The error that it reminds me most of is the Entei GX that has the print obstruction, in that there would have been something between the printhead and the sheet and that it likely would have affected other cards on the sheet as well.
The person I bought it from, located in Atlanta, claimed that he personally opened the pack that it came out of as a kid. As far as I could tell, he had no other connection to the Pokemon hobby.
I’d love to know if you might have any more info about it and/or whether you think it’s a legitimate factory error!
