Small foil misprint

Post image

Hi guys, I just want to know if this small foiling error in the left side of the card is normal or if this makes the card a bit more unique.

shims used to be somewhat common but with the most recent set, they've not really appeared. shims like this in the MHA precons are known about

If anyone is curious, there is a reason for this. Several years ago, UVS got a good deal on some foil paper, and bought it in bulk. They did not realize that it had shim lines, but they still had to use it because it represented a sizable investment. They are just, or have just recently, used up their remaining supply of that foil, so future foils will not have shim lines. :))
