As promised, here’s a grail with a fail but I cherish this one. Dark Explorers Gardevoir 109/108. It’s one of my favorites in my collection but you can get one too if you look (and the seller has decent photos). I love this one so much

So a repeating error that happens across all sets is a misregistration error. As with most errors listed here, they don’t bring monetary value (big whoop) but they are fun to find for some. Misregistration errors happen when any given process layers of a card are misaligned. A card is printed in many layers and any given layer can be off. Layers include anything misaligned: one of the red, yellow, blue layers, text, gray scale detailing, and texture. Here a few very minor examples but the point is to have an eye out for them. Color shifts are very common in all sets but actually the norm in most B&W sets where almost every art box has a colored line on both sides. You usually get 3 distinct colors with a color misregistration, the intended mix of ryb and a opposing broders of each base color. Green will have a border of blue on ome side and yellow on the other. Purple will have a border of blue on one side and red on the other. Fire BG often has yellow and red.

These aren’t exactly newly discovered, but most of them aren’t too well-known either, so figured it was worth adding here, since it fits the theme.
All of these are repeating errors, mostly for Pikachu cards:
English 1st edition Base Set Red Cheeks Pikachu, with ‘hair’ ink error and blue dot.
This variation was first discovered in February 2021 by @willyboy , and based on his searches he estimated roughly 5-10% of the English 1st edition Base Set red cheeks Pikachu will have this repeating misprint.
English unlimited edition Base Set Pikachu & Gastly, with ink line across the illustrator; copyright info; and set number.
I’ve only seen this misprint on Pikachu 3-4 times, three of which can be found in this video of TCA Gaming, one of which I bought soon after I saw that video.
Japanese Pokémon Card Trainers volume 1 Pikachu, with white ink circle.
The Pikachu promo that was included in the Pokémon Card Trainers magazine volume 1 on May 28th, 1999 can have a white ink circle at the top border, just above the last letter of Pikachu’s name. It’s not too uncommon to find, and I estimate about 20-25% of these Japanese Pikachu cards have this repeating misprint (this is just a guess based on how many times I’ve seen it; it could be more or less). Just like with the “d” edition Jungle Butterfree, an ink drop was probably stuck to the print rollers, creating this ink circle misprint at the same position on all the cards it affected.
English unlimited edition Jungle Pikachu, with two thin red ink lines at its name (aka, ‘red chopsticks’ error):
English Team Up Pikachu & Zekrom GX, with the Full Blitz attack having its middle Lightning Energy symbol in grey, and with a line going through Pikachu above it.
This error would only occur on Pikachu & Zekrom GX cards that were in the Pikachu & Zekrom GX League Battle Deck of May 22nd, 2020.
SM194 Detective Pikachu, low on ink and minor damages on entire card:
All French Hidden Legends Reverse Holo cards have repeating misprints available where they have the English Reverse Holo pattern instead of the French one. For most Pokémon, this means the Weakness and Resistance Energy symbols misalign, like this my Pikachu:
But for some attack texts that are larger/shorter in French in comparison to English, or for Pokémon with Ability-blocks, it’s more noticeable, like this Electrode (at the attack Energy symbols) and Jolteon (at the red Ability-text):
Italian unlimited edition Base Set Pikachu can have a green line at the left side of their mouth.
English Paldean Evolved Pikachu ex and English 050 SVP Promo Alakazam ex can come without the stars in their holofoil.
The 25th anniversary Base Set Jumbo Pikachu can have a non-holo logo or inverted logo.
The other Jumbo cards likely have the same errors available, since I’ve also seen an Inverted Torchic before.
And I haven’t seen it with repeating positions yet, but the SWSH039 Pikachu with Sequin Holofoil is also notorious for having red and/or black ink errors. I’ve seen dozens of those, with the ink dots in different positions. Here two I own myself:
When I have some time, I’ll also post some other repeating misprints I know of that aren’t Pikachu. 
Greetz,
Quuador

I mean if the shoe fits. You forgot to put in your Main Character Syndrome Monologue that dot errors aren’t interesting TO YOU; it’s not your place to objectively conclude that dot errors aren’t interesting at all because they aren’t interesting to you. I’m proof that they are interesting to some people and, since the world doesn’t revolve around you and your opinions, I and people like me get to have fun too. There was literally no reason for you to make such a dramatic exit speech as if your leaving and muting the conversation was some kind of existential loss… it wasn’t and it’s not. You’re welcome to partake but let other people enjoy what they will… How is people enjoying something hurting you? I mean you probably don’t like baseball cards but you don’t go to a baseball card thread just to tell everyone there that baseball cards are objectively not interesting. You don’t go to a thread on goat yoga and tell them what they enjoy is objectively not interesting. Why go out of your way to crap on what other people like for no freaking reason? That’s why I implied what I did. Imagine if I went out of my way to find something you were passionate about and did a big post about how it is a worthless waste of time and not interesting. How would that make you feel and is it really necessary? Did it accomplish what you wanted it to accomplish? Was there some magnificent outcome planned from such a selfish monologue? Did you think I’d suddenly see the light and say: “You know… you’re right I don’t really like dot errors; they are so boring and uninteresting. I don’t know what I was thinking.” LOL 
Here’s a variation of the printer hick-“e” legendary collection gyarados. One way to know you have it is the signature yellow dot above the “o” in “coin”. I think I forgot that part in the other thread.
Your thread caught my eye because it’s fun discussing newly found repeating errors. I even contributed in my first post. The thread immediately turned into a discussion of extremely minor errors, so I gave my opinion. - an opinion that directly ties to the topic and discussion, mind you.
then you called me an error nazi lol. You’re having a meltdown dude. Just relax. Collect what you like, it’s fine. But damn man, sometimes you have to accept that even like-minded people are going to disagree sometimes. I love errors and you’re pushing me away. Anakin, you’re breaking my heart.

I have no disdain toward you. I just get hurt when people call what I like not interesting because I’m not forcing it on you. In just sharing 
and if you don’t like it you can just ignore it. I promise I’m not doing it to be annoying.
alright, fair enough!

I mean this is a fourum made up of people who have nearly seen it all. Error collectors typically have a level of significance required to be included in their collection. A 1 pixel ink dot just isn’t interesting to most. It doesn’t take away from what you enjoy and collect, just expect that others won’t be as excited as you are about some of the cards shared.

Once again. Why do you feel the need to bash what I like? Just don’t post anything if you can’t post something respectful. That’s that. I’m not going to the miscut threads and running my mouth about how they aren’t interesting even though i don’t care for them. I’m not going to where people post crimps and telling them that crimps aren’t interesting just because I don’t like them. Why do YOU feel the need to come here an voice your unwanted, unwarranted, and unhelpful opinion?
Hailing from the OG Black & White era in the TCG, this Kanto legendary has a repeating red circle in the background. This is Next Destinies EN 27/99 Articuno.
Here’s another grail with a fail: The iconic Holo Charizard from Legendary collection. These exact yellow lines are a repeating error found on many copies but good luck finding one in gem mint condition. The lines can be seen by the naked eye in very good lighting.

Perhaps you should read what I wrote a few times more. I was encouraging you to not get hurt by what others have said and just enjoy what you enjoy.

I get what you are saying but you act as if i came into this hobby from a vacuum. Do you think I’ve not recieved push back and criticism before? I’m well aware of many collectors’ point of view on the issue. Frankly, it’s a stupid argument because just as you’ve minimized all of these findings to “pixels on cards” i can minimize the cards as a whole as just a bunch of colorful cardboard. We all derive value differently and that’s fine but nobody needs to know if you don’t derive value from something. That knowledge accomplishes nothing; just look away. It’s not like people are forcing you to like something against your will.
