However, the card you are referring to is a "test print" card. We believe it is part of a quality monitoring system at the card production facility, and it shouldn't appear in retail products. Several people in the early days of buying Pokemon reported finding these cards, but your report is the first I have heard about it showing up after Jungle. Hopefully they didn't cheat you out of a rare with their garbage... Brian Brokaw
