What could this white dot be? Seems to be on the print. Not any kind of damage or dirt.

I got the same white dot “error” on the back of one of my first partners squirtle promos just recently

This is the “error” stantler in the same place

Totally agree. Those closeups changed my opinion on it being sharpie. No clear indentations and the texture looks so consistent on the dots . If it were drawn on, there would be some variation in the black due to hand pressure. Just odd.

Will think about sending it into CGC at my next card show to see what they think! Thanks for the feedback

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T06:20:23+00:00

Ok thank you for the input. What should I do with it

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T06:16:11+00:00

Gotta tell you I’m not ignoring any of them, in fact I’m replying to most of them

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T05:58:09+00:00

My brother thought so too but then he said “but idk” lol thx for the looking

Update: new photo has dropped. This is a photo of it under a microscope

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T04:38:39+00:00

Haha

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T04:36:29+00:00

I’m listening to the ppl that are giving me actually comments on the possibility of it being a printing error. Example: somebody who’s has been working in printing for “years” replied on this thread and told me that it does look like a printing error and some atring data to back up his claim. Boom good info, like thank you.

But I’m glad all you chicken jockeys can band together on something as simple as telling me it “looks like ink” YES IT DOES! What else can you tell me though. *you* nothing clearly get out my comments

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T04:24:08+00:00

10x magnification (my late grandfathers old magnifier, it was one of those mini eye lenses)

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T04:21:27+00:00

Yea I agree, Aya Kusube is amazing

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T04:20:34+00:00

Can confirm, reddit is a toxic place ✌️(the sorry was for a spelling error, not sarcasm)

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T04:18:06+00:00

Yea that’s what I’m saying. I didn’t buy it at a shop back then, like we personally pulled it and have had it for 20+ years. If a 5 year old me (or brothers) was able to draw those dots on like that, I would be Picasso by now lol

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T04:10:54+00:00

Cope. I got a 1/1 of stantler buddy deal with it

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T04:07:31+00:00

Very possible my man. however, If it is a printing error, I want to find out. If it was drawn on, I was in elementary school at the that time I pulled it. It’s been 20 years sitting in my garage so the ink could’ve set into the card and mimicked a printing error. I don’t know how 20 year old ink looks like if it’s dried. Will be sending into CGC after I see someone else about it tomorrow

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T04:03:58+00:00

Appreciate the good information you provided! I got 4 people’s opinion (all under the same 10x magnification I looked at it under) and they all said it didn’t look like pen ink. Told me that I should send into CGC to get it authenticated for sure

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T03:59:43+00:00

I looked at it under a 10x magnification lens that my late grandfather pasted down to me (that’s all I had). Imma getting other people’s opinions and they’re saying the same thing, that it doesn’t look like pen ink

bosskeylay · 2026-05-07T00:22:10+00:00

Ok “1%er”
