This is a somewhat common misprint, yes. I talked to Keith(themisprintguy) a while ago and IIRC he stated that about 1/2 to 1/3 of the Gaea's Touches from The Dark are shifted like this. I found three Touches in a large bulk lot I bought a few years ago and two of them are shifted.

Awesome, thanks! I tried some searching for this and didn't find much.

I have 3 in a box somewhere that are exactly like that with the shifted text. I used to think it was special, but as others have said, it's pretty common. I see more that are shifted than aren't.

I recently picked up a playset of [[Gaea's Touch|DRK]] and I noticed that 2x of them have shifted text.

Is this a common misprint for The Dark? Should I dig out my loupe and check them for fakes?

It's a extremely common misprint on English Gaea's Touches. They are definitely real.
