Pinn033's vintage pokédex collection

Batch of pictures No. 8 ^^

It will take allot longer for me to post more batches of cards because I have shown most of the really interesting ones already but when I have enough I will of course post more of these. :slightly_smiling_face:

I also added some pictures of card details at the end of my previous posts but I’m not sure if I like it this way so it’s possible that I will do it different in the future. :smile:

To start it of, here’s my lovely magikarp ^^

Ledyba (with “print line”) I love how the light breaks different on the other side of that “print line”

Hypno (ofcenter cut card)

Mewtwo (ofcenter cut card + printer hickey obstruction of the cyan layer next to it’s head)

Kabuto (printer hickey obstruction of the yellow border layer at bottom of card)

Koffing (printer hickey obstruction of the cyan layer on bottom of card)

Ho-Oh (white layer error or medium holo bleed)

Scyther (white layer obstruction or minor holo bleed)

Ditto (white layer error or heavy holo bleed)

Raichu (this one does not have a holo bleed, even thou the holo pattern is visible throughout the card, it does not reflect light) for the Japanese version it was released with the neo discovery set because that was the newest set possible while USA was releasing the rocket set. Japanese version has a white rarity symbol and I always wondered why Wotc did not do this aswell.

Tentacruel (double swirl because of overlapping holo foil)

Jumpluff (double swirl because of overlapping holo foil)

Charizard (partial three or four swirls but just not good enough) also has big crease at the bottom right but because of it I could purchase it for cheap.

Feraligatr (charging that kamehameha) :laughing:

Snorlax (possible roller imprinting on holo foil so it’s machine damage. Not really sure about this)

Blastoise (possible roller imprinting on holo foil so it’s also machine damage. Not really sure about this)

Vulpix (additional cyan ink error) “blue butt Vulpix”

Ninetales dutch (additional black ink error in center of card)

Grass energy’s (green ink fingerprint error, or looks like that but I’m not sure)

Gengar (not sure about this one either but it seems it has additional ink at the top of card)

Mewtwo (downwards shifted stamp error) found this one while researching card and stamp colors.

Set symbol differences: I admit that I rushed the next one a bit because it’s a very tedious job to check all of my cards. I do like these differences between nintendo and Wotc, also multiple shifts and errors can be found for the set symbols. I will update this picture in the future but at the moment, this is what I got. :sweat_smile:

And for the last pictures I have some details from cards in this post.


That’s all for today, over time I will have more but for now that’s it. :slightly_smiling_face:

@jac2357 :open_mouth: jep, these sorts of things are what interests me the most. Printing locations, changes with the cards and machine process are things that still hold allot of secrets and I’m on a quest to find it out. :laughing: Because I have allot of EU cards I’m starting to see differences from the USA cards but distinguishing EU from AUS is on a whole other lvl. Thanks for the picture, I’ll search it inch by inch haha just a shame I cant use my loupe on my phone. :rofl:
(Have heard fossil 3rd has a bit more glossy backside)

@smpratte thx! I don’t have a plan for my thread at the moment so I’m just going with the flow. The idea was to talk about my pokédex and I know I havn’t done that yet but yeh, all in due time. Hehe :smile:

And thanks everyone else for reading offcoarse. I love indepth card info but I’ll keep it light to read so that this is a place for relaxing. Hope the music helps with that. :wink:

Heres a moltres unlimited and 3rd print. I swapped them over in the same place so lighting affects both equally.

New batch of card pictures are ready to be enjoyed! :smiley:

Some of the following cards have been posted somewhere in the forum already but I wanted them to be present here aswell so sorry for double post. ^^
I have also made multiple changes in the top post because it felt a bit messy. Also added some pictures of my other collections as test to see whether I like it or not. I have not made any changes to the text blocks so no need to re read it. (more updates to come)

Machop Chinese (programming error cube in artwork box) multiple cards in the Chinese base set have some type of cubes or dead pixels :laughing: in the artwork. not sure what happened but I do know that it never was fixed so all Machop cards have the same cube.

Charmeleon (ink smear over it’s name) I have this card some time now and thought it probably was damage until recently a second one appeared making me think that it is an actual ink smear and not some damage. Maybe it happened because of stacking sheets with whet ink? If I ever know I will update it here. hehe

Ivysaur (additional magenta ink thread error on the word poisoned) again not sure how these happen but I have seen two other cards just like it which shows that it is a repeating error.

Politoed (well placed holo pattern, swirl) looks like he is going to eat that fly/ swirl :slight_smile:

Lugia (allot of unknowns here…) The stain looking damage on the holo foil could be actual machine damage but it’s also possible that it is not so I’m just waiting things out and see if I learn more. The swirl in the art is fairly well placed although I think it is not perfect so the feeling of a well placed swirl is not entirely there I think.

Electrode (white layer error or medium holo bleed)

Electrode (white layer error or medium holo bleed) :smiley:

Found myself two new USA crimped cards with the Gloom having some extra damage to it.

Staryu (probably roller damage on backside) Bought this one from a friend when I saw these scratches. I am almost certain that the scratches are from sheet rollers… I think. :stuck_out_tongue: The scratches are not deep enough to actually be interesting but for now this is my first of this error type. There are multiple Staryu cards with the same type of damage to it showing that it probably happened in the factory. I like it because I don’t have many Japanese machine damage cards yet.

Nidoran (both have ink blotch obstruction of yellow layer on bottom right of card) I probably used the word blotch incorrectly here because I’m not sure what a blotch means but I know it’s not a smear or a hickey. :sweat_smile: Got these from a local card trade and I love em so much.

Gastly (ink smudge in center of card) Had not seen this before so it was pure luck that I noticed it. ^^

Gastly (changed/ corrected text between the no-rarity and rarity print) Because I was reading Quuador his collection thread I learned that there was a correction done with base Gastly. Don’t remember what the actual reason for the change was though. hah a fitting time to thank everyone who helps make the forum a nicer place filled with knowledge. :heart:

Scyther (well placed holo pattern, swirl + white layer error or medium holo bleed) Back in a jiffy :smiley: The English version would look better I believe because the swirl would be counter clockwise so again, this placing is good but not amazing.

same Scyther but the picture was taken in the dark with flash.

Magcargo (well placed holo pattern, two swirls)

Meowth (double swirl because of overlapping holo foil) I think it is EU printed because the holo pattern is in a different direction as normal and it has different cardstock compared to other Meowth promos.

Seems like this one post is getting fairly long so I will end it here for now. I do have some more pictures ready and I will make sure to post them next week!

here are some details from the cards shown above. Thanks for reading guys! see you ^^

I have been out of the hobby for awhile now or at least I’m not as serious as I used to be. Sometimes stuff does pass through my radar and I gladly look to see if I can find any errors or cards with interesting holo patterns. Some time ago I bought a few new cards and because of those I decided to open the app once more and post them here just like old times. ^^

This Typhlosion is one I bought before my break but it seems I just didn’t post it here. It has the red ink dot error next to the set symbol.

This poké ball has a yellow ink smudge in the center of the card.

This Graveler was a very lucky find for only 50 cents and now it is the most extreme USA crimp error I have so far.

It’s been so long that I don’t know if I have missed some of my cool cards to post here or not but if I buy new ones I’ll be sure to post them. This thread is very helpfull to remember what I have because some specialities are easily overlooked, so glad I made this. :smiley:

Really happy to see you back on the forum, pinn033! You might want to peruse the Show Off Your Error Cards Megathread if you are looking for error card motivation. :smiling_face:

@Dyl The first thing I did was reading through the god-tier swirl, god-tier orb and double swirl threads because I enjoy these things the most. Of course I enjoy errors very much aswell but holo foil patterns is something that tends to draw my attention more for some reason. It might be because I believe this theme isn’t explored enough and big discoverys are still waiting in the shadow to be found. :smiley:

Just want to say welcome back! Super lovely to have you posting again and also looking forward to more updates as they come.

Cheers!
