    I have a mysterious fossil hp 50 card.

    The normal description reads:
    Play Mysterious Fossil as if it were a Basic Pokemon. While in play, Mysterious Fossil counts as a * Pokemon (as well as a Trainer card). Mysterious Fossil has no attacks of its own, cant retreat and cant be affected by any Special Conditions. etc etc......

    My card reads:

    Play Mysterious Fossil as if it were a Basic Pokemon. While in play, Mysterious Fossil counts as a * Pokemon (as well as a Trainer card). Mysterious Fossil has no attacks of its own, 9cant retreat and cant be affected by any Special Conditions. etc etc......

    The addition of the random 9 is surely a misprint and ive never seen it on any forum that lists misprints, can anyone shed light on this, is it rare? has anyone seen one? is there a market for description misprints

    Thankyou
     

    Definitely a fake. The random 9 is one clue, the energy symbol in the text does not match the energy symbol for that type (Colorless) that was in use at the time, and the font spacing and weight are off.

    The genuine article (with the watermark of the site I pulled this scan from overlaid on it) for comparison:
