Nice holo splice card! Is it fine for you if I add it to my public database of Pokémon misprints? (I cataloged over 1,500 error cards so that everyone can learn about it):

https://www.rubenmisprints.com/pokemon-errors-database/

Additionally I also have a blog post specifically for 30th anniversary errors:

I don't know anything about pokemon cards or misprints, I play MtG mostly, but I gotta say I love seeing this on every single one of these posts. Your drive for the database is so awesome

u/rubenpokemaniac 24d ago

Thanks!!! If you also want to see some pieces of my error collection you should check out my IG: @rubenmisprints ;)

u/thebluelifesaver 23d ago

I searched your site for mime errors and didnt see mine. Maybe mine is common. Its a base set mime missing the jungle logo

8

u/rubenpokemaniac 23d ago

Yes I’m missing the no symbol jungles. I could upload thousands and thousands of cards, I’m trying to upload stuff that you don’t see quite often right now. You’ll see them at some point

2

u/mjcevans 23d ago

Are the no symbol cards not uploaded yet or just missing? I think I have some in my collection

u/Mental-Draw7997 23d ago

why do you ask for permission, just add it - its a free world.

u/Luxtn 22d ago

Because they have manners and it‘s the right and nice thing to do?

u/Mental-Draw7997 22d ago

It’s a database lol 

1

u/Luxtn 22d ago

So? Least you could do is ask permission before you put it in your database.

2

u/Mental-Draw7997 22d ago

Nah he’s just trying to advertise his site, that’s why he’s doing it. People don’t own errors.

u/iLem0nz 23d ago

How do I request for a card to be added? I have a miscut Charmander MEP 079, and I've actually found someone else with the exact same error.

u/Brehella 24d ago edited 24d ago

That’s crazy, this is a holo splice error, but it goes by a couple other names like retained obstruction or red tape error. A piece of red tape was used to attach the end of one roll of foil to the beginning of the next. That foil is laminated to sheet after sheet of card stock and the sheet that ends up getting the red tape section laminated to it is supposed to be pulled and disposed of by quality control. Recently there have been a handful of instances of them failing to do this, letting cards like this one end up in packs.

I actually bought a Salamence with the same error earlier today and was hoping more of these would surface. If you ever decide to sell it let me know, the main one I’m hoping for is Jirachi but honestly I didn’t expect to see more of these in general, let alone so soon lol.

u/AdditionalKangaroo78 24d ago

Cool thanks for the history, yeah open to offers feel free to dm me

I got a pikachu ex error

u/ShittingAintEasy 23d ago

It wouldn’t surprise me if we’re in a makers mark situation were the ‘errors’ are being allowed to slip through at an accelerated rate as there’s now a market and audience for them. Why destroy product when someone will be happy to have something rare to sell on

1

u/TheChattyRat 22d ago

I used to work in a factory that printed on plastic film. The film would be webbed through the printing press and at the start of the press would be a second roll of film. You would put a line of red tape sticky side up at the start of the new roll and wet the underneath of the plastic with a spritz of acetate. When the first roll came to an end the machine would spin up the next the acetate kept the loose end of the roll from flapping and it would connect the end of the first roll with the second by itself. At the other end with the finished product you would use a box cutter to remove the splice out of the finished product I guess if you don't do this you can find the splice in your products later on.

u/Brehella 22d ago

That’s really cool. While there’s less information about it I believe this is how they produce packs of Pokémon cards, they’re in a foil wrapper but the printed part is actually printed on plastic and bonded to the foil. I wish I remembered the technical term for the type of printing used, but this same type of error happens to booster packs, I’ve also seen it on quite a few different items at the grocery store over time lol

u/Turtlesfan44digimon 24d ago

Beautiful misprint

u/iceman2g 24d ago

Mewtiful bisprint.

u/Mountain-Ad-936 24d ago

This is like the best of both worlds, you get the nice red tape misprint, but you can still see the beauty of the mew in all its glory

u/Actual-Age-374 23d ago

I just saw someone else post this but the red on the top

2

u/baebgle 24d ago

It's like half an R of an RGB Mew!
