Been enjoying scrolling through this thread, haven’t seen this one posted—maybe someone already did (?)—but the FIRST error TCG card.

Cgc vs psa?
That Carnivine is messing with my eyes! Amazing error but I’d get a headache just looking at it.

My first error card. Its a holobleed. As I am not an error collector I probably will give it away as soon as I found a non-error copy.

Both of these are in PSA cases. CGC would be the only option to get the error label because PSA is no longer grading Incomplete Holo Errors.
this is literally Pikachu after shaving error card

Old slab and new slab? Theyre different
Newer certs. They look pretty normal to me.
the buffer on the inside are different sizes
Interesting
This thread mentions the different slab designs.
Unconfirmed what is going on here. Korean VMAX Climax - same card for the reverse holo has 1 with brick holo and 1 with poke ball holo. I have a few cards with poke balls, might be printed on the wrong holo layer.

Just got these back today. Bit frustrated they won’t recognise the Holo Shift Arbok when so obvious.

Finally getting around to showing off my meagre error collection. Apologies!! It was suggested in a reply to my intro post. Some of these have been posted, though I’ll still post them up here.
This Prerelease Ivysaur from Crystal Guardians is my “coolest” error (IMHO). The foil stamp runs diagonally across the move text for “Stretch Vine”:
Politoed likes this crimp, the only one I still have:
Ink spatter/hickey errors from WOTC, I think Dewgong likes the Super Potion the most:
Some more WOTC ink spatter:
Crooked D&P-Pt holofoils, no alignment dots (sadly):
EX Era miscuts, 4/5 have alignment dots (Target Snack Bar Treecko does not):
Italian language miscut holofoils, 3/4 have alignment dots (all but Lairon):
Ink spatter on Bill’s Maintenance, blue ink smear on Dunsparce with additional picture:
Finally, I’d like to ask about a 1ED Voltorb (Team Rocket 69/82) and my 1ED The Boss’s Way (Team Rocket 73/82). The left-hand Edition stamp in the following picture is the one in question for Voltorb. Both cards are Voltorbs from different sources.
The edition stamp on the left hand Voltorb is shifted left, this was a recent find in a bulk lot and it is the only card in any of my 1ED bulk across any set with this issue. The Voltorb on the right is from another purchase.
The Boss’s Way:
I thought the Voltorb was fake initially and figured that The Boss’s Way was another poor attempt at stamping unlimited, albeit coming from a second bulk lot I bought from someone else.
Upon further inspection with my 30x loupe + comparison with other 1ED Team Rocket singles I had, I am less sure that either are fake as the stamps appear consistent with edition stamps on all of my other Team Rocket singles. Here’s a zoom in + edit of the Voltorbs side by side:
I can make out about 1 ink grid dot of difference in stamp placement.
Obvious fakes, or legitimate stamp errors? I’d love to hear what everyone thinks. Thanks for reading!

Love the collection!
Boss’s way is known to have varying levels of smudged stamps so it’s safe to assume they’re all legit.
