[Questions] Farfetch’d or Pidgey

[Skiddyruud]

Hi all. I have a farfetch'd from the original base set which has been misprinted and spelt pidgey. Any ideas if this is worth something? I know misprints in the past could be worth something but have also known them to be worth very little.

I have attached a picture of the card in question.

Thanks for your help 👍

The card is not a misprint, but a counterfeit made by overlaying a scanned version of the art from the Farfetch'd card (seriously, go look up the art and you'll notice the colors are very off) onto the picture box of a scanned version of a Pidgey card. How I can tell is everything except the picture is from the Base Set Pidgey card, and I can tell the Farfetch'd art is scanned by the coloring being off, as well as the Pidgey card being scanned because the fonts look light and the energy symbols lack the 3D shadow effect they're supposed to have.

Confirming the above. The Farfetch'd is terribly washed out compared to the rest of the card, which is all Pidgey's information. Still a fun card to come across though if you collect oddities! :)
