Not sure what to call this misprint. It looks like the image was improperly centered with the card. Notice the white line going down the right side of the card. Everything is shifted to the left. The blue meets the yellow on the left and creates a band of green. Does anyone here have another example of this type of error??? Also the energy symbols are misaligned and blurry.
I’m trying to gauge a value and rarity. This is the only one I have. Here’s a link to a higher resolution pic: i.imgur.com/aYF40bp.jpg
You get these every so often and it basically sucks for most collectors. I would pay half of market but only to a friend and as a favor.
If you build it up as an error/misprint you might find someone who likes other types of oddities to buy it.
Wow I’m surprised you dislike them so much haha, I’ve never seen an error like that and I’d definitely pay a premium for something like just because it’s neat!
Fortunately, since I don’t have a life outside of Pokemon, I was able to spend about a month sorting-through those Shadowless Cards that I purchased from you. I actually stumbled-upon two “mis-aligned” cards like that (Diglett and Machop) - thought they were pretty neat. Although, now I don’t even remember where I set those two cards aside to show-off - must have been really cool if I can’t even remember where they are now LOL
I would think it worth at least double the value of the normal card, and perhaps much more to someone who collects errors and has never seen this one before.
Neat card @tony I think you and I are some of the few who have any interest in these types of unique errors, but I wouldn’t back that interest by paying top dollar for it if you know what I mean. I’m positive I have a few if not more somewhere but none more severe than yours that I can recall. They may be similar in collectability as the “dot” errors have been. I would say $10 would be max unless someone really wants to throw down for it
Can’t say I’ve actively looked for that before. I do have a Base Charizard with the foil shifted in a similar way. As for value I can’t see them demanding much of a premium. If it was more severe then for sure, but at that level it just isn’t broken enough for my liking.
I do enjoy obtaining oddities and errors every now and again, but I think this being improperly centered just makes it a lower grade card rather than one with an error. I don’t know
@scratchdesk misaligned holos are different from this error. I have a few that have the holo dip down past the artwork. Pretty cool if the error is severe enough. Now those cards actually fetch a nice price on ebay.
Off centered cards have uneven borders. This card is a bit different as its entire image dips into the border. I guess I personally would call it a misaligned image error rather than an off centered error. Not sure what PSA would make of it
If it were drastically shifted like some of the other Fossil holo misprints I’ve seen around paying a premium could easily be justified but it being a non-holographic Articuno shifted a millimeter it’s not really worth anything more at least in my eyes. There’s a very cool holo Kabutops that has changed hands once or twice that is drastically shifted and it’s fetched a pretty penny.
