If only there was an error where the holo covered the entire artwork. That would be a nice one.

I have one…
this is what i would consider a proper bleeding error, but it is Japanese…
no-body wanted this when i posted it on ebay cheap ages ago because it’s a crap pokemon. Probably if it was a nicer pokemon, and not japanese people would probably care. So i am keeping it in my collection now.
The owner of the zapdos can do whatever they want, and class his as an error or a variation or if they wish to. Even if it is small, it is pretty uncommon to see that in a english fossil set card. (i don’t really agree it is a major error or whatever, it is different… i don’t know the word to describe it… mild printing defect…? )
Here is my PSA graded full foil card:
i believe some of cardgurutcg’s double holo neo rev cards have that. I know the magikarp had holo on the entire picture, including the karp, itself.
i wouldnt consider majority of holo bleeds major errors, but if its extravagant enough, i wouldnt see why not. None of mine are major, except for the neo rev double holos. That jumpluff is pretty heavy on the sparkles, though lol
No, I meant like actual foil covering the artwork. Almost like the Ho-oh shown above but entirely covered with foil. As if it where a ghost rare like they have in Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Oh, sorry above, I thought that was what you meant. Apologies the bad photos. My camera sucks.
Anyways, Here is my cream border pikachu. Not for sale.
I don’t like showing my collection, but this is some of the few errors I have. My favourite one hehe

That’s really wicked looking Neo Genesis Jumpluff! Too bad PSA didn’t give OC qualifier, in my eyes it would’ve definitely deserved it…

Oh cool, so you’re the one who owns that one. Btw, if you compare the card to a regular Jungle Pikachu, is it overall lighter, or only the border? With the Albino border Base Pikachu I have the entire card is slightly lighter, making me believe the border discolors faster than the card itself, and it’s just the sun’s doing.
Yours (I’ve seen pictures of it before on Google) seems like the card is the same shade as a regular one, and the border is the only thing that’s lighter (pink in this case). So perhaps yours isn’t by sun discoloration, but by the printing process instead. A key difference I’d like to know if possible. Could you perhaps show a picture of it with a regular (English) Jungle Pikachu partially on top of it, so you can see both cards side-by-side at the same time?
Awesome card btw. Would love to have it in my collection, although I’m happy to have a Base Pikachu instead, since I’m a sucker for any and all Base Artwork Pikachus in regard to my total Pikachu collection.

@quuador yeah it isn’t light induced. The center is very deep and rich in colour. I’m not sure what happened or why the border is different. Maybe they mixed the wrong colour or ran out of ink upon printing one sheet.
I’ve only ever seen one other electrode with the albino cream border. But you cannot get this colour from sun saturation, the card will turn more white than anything else and Fade the entire card. Also if it is a holo. The glue binding the foil will begin the peel the cards top layer due to temperature increase.
I only know this because I bought some Chinese base boosters once in Macau, and the top 2 packs had been displayed next to a light for years. Hanging on a wall lol.
So when I opened the packs and pulled foils, they were peeling from heat, and bubbly like.
In the bin they went… Lol.

I very much believe that is caused by the sun. I recently came across what I thought may have been some error cards with similar faded borders. The borders were the only part that was faded. I bought one card thinking it was an error card and received a number of cards with it. However upon closer inspection the lighter border lined up in a way that the sections of lightening were likely caused by that part of the card hanging out in the sun in a pile of cards. Kind of hard to explain. The only photo I have handy is this:
I’m 100% certain this was due to some sort of sun fading on my cards. Perhaps filtered light of some form? And they look very similar to the shade we see on the albino cards… so deductive reasoning at that point.

Well, with the one I have the top-right corner is still the regular color, and the rest of the border is pink. In addition, the entire card is lighter than the rest of the card, making me believe it’s (by accident) done by the sun. That same seller actually had another one, which I actually bought after seeing the picture (but I received this one instead). Because I think the chance of having two of these, it makes me even more believe it’s somehow done by the sun. Here is the Albino Border Base Pikachu I have:
But you’re indeed right that the entire card becomes white after longer exposure, as you can see by this sun-bleached Pikachu, which has been made slightly wet and then laid in the sun every single day for more than a year:
And I have a few more examples of sun-discolored Pikachus: 
But as I said, yours looks like the inner card is just the regular shade, and only the border is lighter/pink, which indeed looks more like a production error.

@scratchdesk thanks for those pictures and confirmation of my own doubts. In my post above my first Pikachu is similar, with a slight non-pink part in the top-right.
@kkthxbai 's Albino bordered Pikachu looks like the inner part is just the color you would expect, and only the border is discolored.
So although the result is the same (Albino/Pink border), I think the cause is different for our (mine & @scratchdeck’s) cards compared to @kkthxbai 's.

I tried to replicate this “albino” theory using a pikachu card and the sun. The whole card turned cream/white colored just like that pinkish pale color shown above. I did it outside so it shriveled a little (
) I forgot where I left it. I will try it again now that it’s sunny here in Chicago again, indoors this time. Will post the results later this month. I will do one completely exposed, only border exposed and one with everything except the energies exposed.

@quuador As I mentioned I’m thinking it may be filtered light somehow. I bet with enough trial and error (and time) people could replicate the Albino Pika we see above. The cards I have do not have fading in the inner portion of the card, including other yellow/ gold portions that should have been effected. This leads me to believe that either A) the ink used for the border changes faster or B) the ink can be effected by a different light than the rest of the card (this would be my assumption banking on a filtered light source).
The cards I posted show that a cards border can change while not effecting the internal area of the card. This includes green, yellow and gold areas. The red was not hit so I’m not sure about that part.

Guys, something insane just happened. Regigigagod is gonna wanna see this. I was in Lubbock with the wife, for Memorial Day weekend, and stopped off to go to a Target, since there are none in our based town. I see a single FlashFire booster pack and decide to buy it. Awesome to find discontinued and valuable packs randomly, right? So I open it and do the card trick, as its just a reflex for the whole family to do when we record our openings. And what do i see? A severely miscut back of the last card that is supposed to be our rare. Obviously i get excited, as usually cards like that tend to be holos or better. Well guess what?
It was a severe MC SR M Charizard X! So much so that you can literally see the SR M Charizard Y coming up from the bottom, if you look at the last picture. I literally pulled two SRs in one pack. One card. I am speechless haha. And i finally found an error SR to match my SR M Charizard Y i showed earlier in the thread!

I thought WotC did better quality checks for Magic. Look at these total miscuts(@ like 4:30)

i have a few secret texture misaligned errors. although im new to this board so im not sure how to post pictures as of yet.
also the entire base set with holo bleed and a few odds and end cards with holo bleed.
i would recommend against grading. as ive graded these holo bleeds (base set blastoise and raichu. electric cards are easier to see the bleed btw) when grading its MUCH harder to see the bleed with the encapsulation. still possible, but much harder to see. PSA and BGS also doesnt recognize this error as of yet so it will not be indicated on the PSA slip. although if any one wants to sell me any holo bleeds, i collect them all so please let me know if so!
You can use the Tapatalk app to upload pics. Id love to see your errors
