Value on Error Portuguese Wartortles PSA 10? I have 4 of 16 ever graded

I’m trying to value these 4 Portuguese error cards. I’ve only found 1 recent sale at $500. I own 4 copies out of the total 16 PSA 10s. On top of that, two of them have sequential cert numbers.

I’m thinking about selling them and I’m wondering what they could realistically be worth as a set.

Thanks for the help :slight_smile:

Error cards are always so niche within the market. I would probably just list 1 of them in an auction and see where it ends up, or you could just throw it up for the last listing price and wait. :man_shrugging:

I wouldn’t put them all on the market at once. Maybe stretch it out and see if you can go for more than the last listed.

I wouldn’t list a Portuguese error non Holo at auction. Just do 500$ + the feb/March multiplier, and wait it out

Is there any known lore on how this happens or where it came from?

This error was never corrected in Portuguese, just FYI.

My understanding is that this is how they were printed and it is errata, not an error that was corrected.

Errata?

Sorry, uncorrected erratum*. Errata are lists of errors, along with their corrections, discovered in a printed work after production. Erratum are the individual errors found.

It was something printed that was only printed that way for the entire print run.

They sell well cause people think its rare like the english one, which is actually rare. Granted, its not like Portuguese cards are common, but this error was on all of em

This is sure interesting. I may rip an another pack to chase one of these. I haven’t pulled one yet out of 7 of the made in USA packs yet ( left pack ).

It would be wild if USA cards don’t have the error and only Belgium do.

Also it is weird the bottom left card looks like more normal HP and the rest look like the W stamped dark HP.

It is confirmed they absolutely contain different cards so it is a slight potential.

All Portuguese Wartortle have that error. It’s uncorrected in that language. :person_shrugging:

The English Wartortle with the error might be lead back to a specific facility or booster pack type perhaps? :thinking:

These cards are French, not Portuguese? Or was this posted to just show an example of the color difference in general between US and Belgium booster packs, and not with the Portuguese cards in particular? :thinking:

I don’t know if that is a certainty when I have only seen maybe 50 packs in 6 years including the 36 I purchased. Only until very recently has any other packs surfaced when it seems a group managed to buy a booster box and then liquidated it separately on EBay.

I’ll rip one more and see if I can pull one for science.

I can now confirm the 1999-2000 Made in USA cards also contain the error. Mine has one main difference being lack of the Belgium “e” error where mine has a shadow.

@Fusion do any of your slabs have a shadow in the “e” on the back?

I opened an English one when I was 10 or so back in 2000/2001 (or so) at a Books a Million Pokémon league event. Surprisingly, I actually noticed at the time, and put it in the front of my binder with my other errors!

Any idea where it was?

Of course!
