Print error or fake card?

General

I’ve been looking through some of my old cards to get graded and came across an interesting “error”. This Dark Dragonite has really light printing all over, particularly on the text. The pics below don’t do it much justice unfortunately, but in person the text is noticeably grey and in parts of the thinner font the ink has even broken.

I assume this is just a low black ink issue, but I’m not overly familiar with the error card niche and wanted some input. Are these common at all, or am I sitting on something pretty rare?

Probably lower ink. Super common for cards to be a little darker or lighter.

I did a post about this same card. They are labeled as “ghost” or grey prints. It’s really black ink running low. They are real cards

Thanks for the replies! Strange that we had exactly the same problem with the same card too.
