    Hello everyone!,

    I'm new here, and i'm not very familiar with the general way of interacting on these forums, so i apologize if anything i say is out of place.
    I have recently started looking through my old pokemon card collection, trying to think if i should start selling them. I ran into a card that seems to have a misprint. I can't find any documentations of this misprint but i might be looking in the wrong places. It's a card from the neo genesis series. A trainer card called Pokemon march. The error i think it has is that the front star of the neo genesis symbol is gray instead of white. This might be so insignificant that nobody cares and that's why i can't find anything. But i figured i might as well ask somewhere where people would know more. In case this is something quite rare. I'm almost positive I didn't edit the card and forgot. I've had them since i've been a kid so the thought did cross my mind. However that's not something i would usually have done, didn't do it to any of my cards, and it doesn't quite look like it to me.

    I'm new to the forum so not allowed to post links. I'm adding them in a modified way. Please remove the spaces and add a . between the end of the line and the "jpg"

    (If the images need to be uploaded somewhere else so people don't think they might be scary links please let me know)

    Is there anyone who has more insight into this? Any input from people who know more about pokemon cards and what would be considered rare would be much appreciated.

    Thanks all!
     
    Are you sure it isn't just dirty? Print smudging isn't unheard of, but your card is a bit worn and I see specs and blotches elsewhere.
     
    I tried gently cleaning it, but it doesn't come off. It does look like the ink just got smudged though indeed. That's probably a pretty likely explanation. And i imagine it wouldn't make the card very rare :p The card indeed isn't perfect. It's been in a box for a while before i put it in a folder, and it has picked up some damage. None of it unremovable like the bit in the star though.
    Thanks you very much for the reply :)
