One Pokémon Trading Card Game fan opened his deck and found a series of rare printing errors that made his collection even more special. Printing errors in Pokémon the cards are rarer than the rarest Pokémon, making them a collectible in their own right. For this Pokémon TCG fan, the misprints on the back of the cards were shockingly bad, which turned out to be a good thing.
Editor Ok-Broccoli4136 posted photos of his Togekiss, Gastrodon and Tapu Koko Pokémon TCG cards that seemed normal at first glance. However, when looking at the back of the cards, the classic Pokémon the logo and Poké Ball were off-center and divided in half. THE Pokémon The misprint subreddit was shocked by how strange the images on the back of the cards were and recommended that these Pokémon cards be protected immediately.
An extremely rare Pokémon card printing error could be worth a lot
Fans suggested these misprints should be protected
Most comments in the thread were to tell Ok-Broccoli4136 to get all this Pokémon cards in sleeves and top loaders to preserve their value. For many, the cards looked like an error that should have been caught as soon as they were printed, and it’s this level of error that makes them so valuable. The rare products market Pokémon cards have taken off recently as exclusive cards, like the Japanese Pokémon cards, are fetching higher prices online.
Editor Extras theorized that in front of these Pokémon cards were not aligned correctly before being placed in the printer. At the moment when Pokémon TCG cards were put into the cutting machine, it would be too late, so the poorly printed cards reached the world. The extras claimed they had cards with misprints similar to this one, where the front is misaligned, as if someone had messed up the positioning of the images, but they had never seen a misprint like this. Ok-Broccoli4136 will have to be careful, as Pokémon TCG scalpers may try to obtain these cards for a less than ideal price.
Our Take: Why the Pokémon trading card game always keeps fans on their toes
Fans never know what to expect when they open a Pokémon card pack
Printing errors and card errors are rare, but they have happened before and will happen again. Human error will always lead to errors that will be part of a package of Pokémon cards, as for decades the Poké Ball on the back of Pokémon cards opened incorrectly, so fans should be on the lookout for future printing errors.
Even if it doesn’t translate into a windfall after you sell them online, you still make Pokémon TCG It’s worth it, as collecting cards can lead to unexpected and fun surprises.
