hey pojo, i would like to clear everything up on the misprints yes there were lots of mistakes made wizards must feel stupid but they did fix them they fixed all the cards and made them darker so if you have a darker card (the letters are bolder and the card has more shades) you have newer cards they also fixed up some cards the pikachu has gold checks in the new ones and red in the old ones same with allot of others (tengela, voltorb, others) the newer cards also have new packs in the side of the pack there is an expert level sign, the older packs don't have this the newer packs have "the card game" (in red) at the top of the packs, the older ones have this at the bottom they are also making theme decks newer i have a zap theme deck that has new cards in it there is no change in the box though another thing they changed is the holos you might have noticed the holos bending like a smile :) they have fixed this (kinda) the new ones don't bend like the older ones do, they still bend, but not has much i like the japanese holos, they are strait and never bend i don't know if the older misprints are worth any more than new ones they will most likely be after a few months thank you for your time, chris p.s would you people please push spell check before sending, thank you _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
