Most are common errors, such as the red/gold cheek Pikachu, sideways energy symbol on Diglett, and Edition "d" Butterfree. But I also have some strange errors that aren't so common. I have a Squirtle (I checked, it's real) but it's artwork is a mirror image of what it should be. The picture is backwards. I also own a Weedle on which the damage for Poison Sting is "110." One of my Gyarados has a typo on it, too. It's name is spelled "Gyrados" where it says "put Gyarados on the Basic Pokémon." I'm not sure if this is a misprint or an actual corrected version, but my Vulpix says 50 HP instead of HP50. All of the Vulpix cards I have seen have "HP50", but I bought a booster pack that actually had it "corrected". One of the strangest ones I have is a Starmie. Where it is supposed to say 60HP has nothing written there, but the water symbol is where it should be. Have you seen any of these misprints before? Or are these one-of-a-kind? Please respond soon. ------------------------- There is NO one-of-a-kind card. Error cards are usually always NOT highly desireable. Most of the collectibility of these cards are the pursuit of the manufacturer's established set of cards. Pursuing error cards only opens the market up to counterfeit schemes and rarely would you ever see an error card go on auction with more fervor than the established card. I have never heard of your reverse image Squirtle before. I have never heard of your 110 damage Weedle before. I have not heard of the misspelled Gyarados before. I haven't seen a "50 HP" Vulpix, but I don't doubt that this error has been FINALLY fixed. I have not heard of the no HP Starmie before. Good luck in all of your trading! Brian Brokaw
