Erika's Gloom misprint?

I've been looking for one like it but no luck. It's Erika's Gloom from the Gym Heroes expansion, with the lower half of the card discolored (missing yellow ink it seems)



Anyone know if it's worth anything?

Probably not worth any more than the normal version as it's probably a one-off defect that is impossible to confirm as an actual legit factory error.

Though that almost looks to me like the color got washed out.

Probably won't go for much with those dings, but it appears that the printer ran-out of yellow ink halfway through. I've seen a few cards printed completely with low ink, but I think this is my first time seeing a midway-printed one. Pretty neat.

If you're wondering why the whole border is still solid yellow, those seem to be printed separately (or at least from a different ink cartridge) from the rest of the card for some reason. (If you look-up "blank Pokémon card misprint," you'll notice that they all have borders.)
