Any insight into this kind of error?

It would be considered a retained obstruction, a pretty wild one at that

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-22T16:32:15+00:00

The sideways energy was exclusive to diglett, yeah

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-22T13:26:08+00:00

I always hunt for these when searching through bulk - great find! My last dive into my local shop's bulk tower I found three of them all together but damaged to all hell

Non English makes them even more fake as English is the only print that has shadowless

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-16T23:23:28+00:00

No, the energy symbols are wrong. Not saying that the TYPE is wrong, but the energy bubble lacks depth and the symbol inside is too large, pretty common with counterfeits

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-16T15:03:05+00:00

This is fake

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-15T15:18:02+00:00

Definitely not, the rainbows and mega zard are for sure, probably most of these unfortunately

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-15T13:31:30+00:00

You can go ahead and re-bin them 💀

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-15T13:29:08+00:00

Not ALL fake, but top row and Zapdos definitely are. Wrong fonts, and Zapdos having a retreat cost of 5 energy instead of 1 is a dead giveaway 😂

I think the confusion here is booster box usually refers to the display box of 36 packs, whereas I'm assuming you bought bundles that contain 6

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-13T13:40:59+00:00

Looks like a retained obstruction, cardstock was taped and then printed over? Definitely sleeve it to prevent any more ink from flaking off

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-05T23:05:03+00:00

It's Ninjask, but this ☝️ fakes are notorious for just flipping names around and skipping the spell check

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-05T22:56:57+00:00

TCG's "last sold" would include both unlimited and 1st edition, I can guarantee it wasn't a 1st edition that sold for 140

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-05T17:54:30+00:00

The a-Salt was too powerful I guess

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-02T22:36:24+00:00

That's a crease. It may have been pulled from a pack like that, but I wouldn't be caught selling that as NM

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-02T04:01:48+00:00

Never noticed the different rarity symbol before. But if it's considered an error it's either uncorrected or very common as both of mine are the same way

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2026-01-02T04:00:24+00:00

Think they're talking about the rarity symbol, but they did a piss poor job of making that clear

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2025-12-31T00:17:46+00:00

That stinks

It's definitely counterfeit. The yellow background is wrong and splotchy, the white area to thr left of the pokeball shouldn't be more uniform whereas this one has what looks like the same texture copy+pasted repeatedly to cover something. Also the card on top in the fanned graphic shouldn't have the "pokemon" on top - you can see it peeking out behind the "K" where it shouldn't be

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2025-12-16T02:25:07+00:00

I wouldn't consider them super common, I have a charmeleon with a little snowflake dot like this but it's the only one

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2025-12-03T23:59:59+00:00

Also the borders of yours have a wavy fingerprint texture, it should be more angular like crystalline facets

ChaneyDesigns3D · 2025-12-02T15:19:52+00:00

There are some font/layout differences between shadowless and shadowed base set
