    Hi Guys, I recently looked through my old Pokémon card collection and found a card that I think is quite interesting. It's unfortunately very worn, but still useable. It's a Dark Charmeleon from the Team Rocket set. This is interesting to me for one reason: it is holo, and I can't find any more Holo Dark Charmeleons (though I don't think it's fake as: a - I bought it from a guy who plays in tournaments b - the holo aligns perfectly with the image), and also as the number in the bottom right corners, which should read 32/82 as that is its actual number, read 15/82, which instead is the Here Comes Team Rocket Holographic Card.
    As I can't currently take a photograph, I'll state this:
    - The card matches a regular Dark Charmeleon Card in every way, so if it's fake its a good one.
    - The bottom line reads: Ilus. Kagemaru Himeno (Copywright Symbol)1995, 96, 98 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK (Copywright Symbol)1999-2000 Wizards. 15/82 (Diamond Shape)

    So what do you guys think: Fake, Misprint, or am I missing something? Thanks.

    UPDATE: I tried to take a photograph, but my camera isn't good enough to get a legible shot of the numbers.
     
    It's fake, but not printed. Highly likely they used the holo from Here Comes Team Rocket as a base for the Dark Charmeleon.

    However it doesn't means it's completely worthless. People do like those sort of fakes, especially the Charizard evo line
     
    Thanks for the reply. I think you're right, however there is something I'd like to inquire about:
    as I said, the card's symbol is a Diamond. The symbol of the Here Comes Team Rocket card which the Holo originally comes from is a Star. I think I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but I'd still like to know. Also, do you know of any forums where I could find a collector who might be interested in this card? Thanks.
