Shadowless metapod misprint questiond

Hello,

I recently decided to go through my pokemon cards that have been in a binder since 1999 and I found .. what i gather from Google is a shadowless metapod misprinted card. I have never played or traded my cards i really just collected them and put them in the binder. My friend tells me my cards are special but I cant seem to find this one anywhere. Does anyone have any knowledge / info on it ?

Very fake unfortunately

Welcome to the forum. I’m pretty sure all 1st edition and Shadowless Metapod have this HP70 instead of 70HP error, and it’s basically an uncorrected error for those versions. Here two random example pictures:

Having said that, I’m afraid your Shadowless Metapod card is fake. The colors and borders look a bit off, and the overall texts and artwork also seem to be of slightly worse quality than a real version. :thinking: Most notably however, are the missing illustrator, copyright info, and set numbering at the bottom.
Sorry to disappoint you.

Greetz,

That is what I thought until I saw this and then i was confused bc I have 2 other cards that are exactly like this one is a charmander and it is the same. Idk where I could’ve gotten them from

Google literally said that some are missing dates but it seems fake to me also its confusing

Using google AI search overview as an authority on Pokemon cards is not going to be helpful!
