TCG Error Cards

[Loover]

Hey everyone.

So I was checking what cards I have and I'm thinking about selling some. The thing is, that I have few error cards and I don't know how much I can get for them, cause I can't find them in the Internet! Am I the only person on the World that actually own them? ;>
These cards are below. I'll just write numbers on those in order of screen shots: 44/102 (Bulbasaur 60000 HP, 3000 Atk); 45/102 (Caterpie 80000 HP, 1000 Atk); 48/102 (Doduo, seems normal but there's Dodrio on the weird background), 26/64 (Scyther. As you can see there's a Patamon from Digimon).

Wish I'll get some answers about these cards and MAYBE even how much I can get for them. To me they seem expensive as they're all errors.

Maybe someone more informed will correct me, but these look like fakes, not errors made by Wizards of the Coast or The Pokemon Company.

An example of a genuine error card would be the Jungle set without the Jungle logo. I really can't imagine a professional company like WotC accidentally sticking Digimon artwork on a Pokemon card... especially when they don't even make Digimon products.

All of them are fakes. The Bulbasaur card's HP is the immediate tell, but there's also the fact that the damage its attack does is also completely fake (3000 is a number that is nowhere close to the normal damage or HP range), the image used is that of a Venusaur ripped from an actual card in one of the two Gym sets, and the font in the little stats box below the image is wrong. For Caterpie, the HP is far too high for any card, the attack damage is also far too high, and the image used is ripped directly from a Kakuna card from one of the two Gym sets. For Doduo, the image is of a Dodrio and is ripped from an official card (not sure which set, but I think it's one of the Gym sets), the font in the stats bar below the image looks like the wrong font, the attack name is not bolded, and both the attack name and effect description are the wrong font. For Scyther, the Patamon image is an immediate tell that it is fake (Wizards didn't have any licensing rights to Digimon at all, and neither did The Pokemon Company, Nintendo, Creatures, or Game Freak).

Also, I think all 4 of them have a few energy symbols that are incorrect because the symbols are misaligned to the left.

I guess it's worth mentioning that there are collectors on Ebay who buy fake pokemon cards... but don't expect to get more than a few dollars for them. You have to be very clear in both the listing title and the description that they're fake though, otherwise you could get into trouble.

I might have an error card.
