Show Off Your Error Cards Megathread!

Ok, and for the common/uncommon not reverse?

It’s just a x2? It’s not easy this market, I have many difficulties also when I’m asked to do an offer.

@Kratosso Yeah, it depends on a bunch of factors. Mine’s a reverse, but if yours isn’t, that does bring the value down a bit. I’d personally see this kind of error on a less popular Gen 1 reverse as maybe a $10-15 card. If it were a Gen 6 common with a similar error, $5-10 might be fair. But something like a bigger alignment dot on a Vaporeon could definitely be in the $50+ range at a base. It’s super situational. I had a miscut Eevee common from Vivid Voltage that I listed for $50 and it sold pretty quick - it wasn’t that much more off than this, just a really popular Pokémon.

Unless it was fixed in later prints, every Charmeleon from the TCG Classic box set is missing the accent mark over the ‘e’ in ‘pokemon’ in the top right corner

Here’s a fun one I’ve held onto from Fusion Strike. The code stamp is wildly off-center, but the rest of the card is normal. Always enjoy seeing quirks like this sneak through.

This is fascinating, actually. I wonder how they stamp these things now… Great find! Thanks for sharing.

Looks like the “screen holos” error in this thread or this thread, but… horizontal? Or like the “white overspray” or “yellow overspray” holos here.

Im not much of an error card guy because; and this is probably an unpopular opinion, most errors ruin the card aesthetics. Thats why i think errors like the dark dragonite are so popular and valuable because the error doesnt impact the card art
This is one of the first examples ive seen of a “beautiful” error. I think i prefer this even to the original ! thanks for sharing

Has anyone ever shipped a square WOTC holo to eBay authentication before? I had a nice NFC Fossil Zapdos purchased today from a customer on eBay, with the item going to authentication first. I had sold the item as NFC, Square and properly described and showed the condition. My only concern would be that I included “error” in the title, but Im just more interested in experience if anyone has any

While reorganizing one of my binders I just found out that my Lance card from Paradigm Trigger that I bought like two years ago has a (very slight) texture shift. Not the craziest error and not the biggest shift but I still found it cool:

Pair of Ancient Mews with pretty major misaligned backs. The fronts are centered and clean, but the holo pattern on the back is off. Ancient Mew has always been one of my favorite cards, so seeing something like this was an instant buy.
A rare little twist on one of the hobby’s most iconic promos.
