Neo Discovery Espeon is one of my favorite cards, illustrated by my favorite artist (Atsuko Nishida). I really love my insufficient ink errors.

Super biased because it’s mine but I really like this shift texture shining lugia.

Overall for me it’d probably be something like the cards where both sides of the card where printed on the same side.

I’ve never seen it in person but I the “Cockroach” Ghastly is certainly unique.

My favorite error card by a longshot are these miscuts from a Solar Strike deck box. The owner had them in their PC and was kind enough to split them up from the rest of the deck

It’s not every day you get a miscut where the Pokémon is next to it’s evolution. I’ve been meaning to get these framed

My favourite by far is the Prerelease Raichu, i remember learning about it from an old efour.proboards article (i think by @smpratte iirc) never thought i would see them be graded.

I was going to say this. Squished bug gastly is the THE BEST. I remember when it was up on ebay but they had it up for like $99,999 or something. Probably not even the real owner. That and the cigar wrapper hitmonlee.

as I recall these were wotc era junk prints tha were never in circulation, and later hand cut. I recall seeing modern examples ones on electronic-bay before, not sure if those are from packs or what though.

I love this one, being that the Stamp is also OC on a miscut card,

And of my cards, I love this one with the edge of the sheet, double square corner, narrow miscut. Either would make me happy, but the double error is always super cool.

It’s hard to settle on one but I will post 3 very interesting ones

This Cleffa is probably my overall favorite and one that I got from @regigigagod
An incredibly memorable story and trade that involved a skyridge booster as part of the trade that he opened and pulled both a holo houndoom and a reverse crystal Charizard

This clefable I found myself in a mercari listing. It was 900 yen for two clefable holos and a Clefairy holo and had been sitting for 2 months before purchase. I was so so excited to get it and that find will probably never be topped


Finally this vending sheet krabby that I got just a few months ago on mercari as well.
I love the strip of Pokemon you can see on the back

I have so so many more unique errors and it’s super hard to choose

Since you showed this Krabby card I don’t think a week has gone by where I haven’t thought about it!

Cigar wrapper is another classic error.
