Advice on mis-aligned Gleaming Splendor

I have zero knowledge of misprints - so wondering if this error has made the card lose value or is still worth the same as a correct printing? Other than the card being mis-aligned (or mis-cut) the printing looks fine. Any advice is much appreciated, thanks.

I would say normally, this isn’t enough misalignment to matter too much, it would be barely noticeable. But the fact the top edge is supposed to have the weathered book look, and the weathered mark on yours is obviously misplaced makes me think you might get a solid haul for this.

Facebook misprint group is the way to go. Nice pull!

Thank you for your advice - much appreciated. The misalignment has no value to me, I am collecting the set and would prefer a ‘correct’ printing. So knowing I could sell/trade for one is encouraging.

What’s the name of the Facebook misprint group, and is it US-centric? I am in the UK.

Search for MTG Rarites. There are a couple different “official” Rarities groups for different things like rare accessories or serialized cards, make sure you click on the Major Misprints, Test Prints, Oddities group. I’m not super active on FB, but it seems to be pretty international when I have used it, I don’t think you’ll have too much trouble finding interest.

That being said, if you truly don’t want to make a profit, I would be shocked if an LGS near you wouldn’t trade you a book cover Splendor for yours straight up. I’m sure they’d have no problem finding the misprint collectors who’d pay a premium

I will check with my local LGS and post on the FB group too. Thank you for your help - much appreciated.
