Got a few packs for my mum since she plays Pokemon Go a lot and got this :0

First of, no. Your misprinted card is not likely worth much more then a regular non-misprinted version, unless severe misprinting or an already rare or desirable card.
Remember, your card is only as valuable to the person willing to pay for it.
A misprint can be defined as any manufactured product that was not produced as intended and falls outside the established standards. These misprints most often occur on cards themselves but can also happen with booster packs and collection boxes.
This is a list of errors cards sourced by bulbapedia.
Ok, down to the rough and gritty part. There are many different types of misprints for cards and packs. Some take a good eye to spot and some are so egregious you wonder how they made it off the line.
Cards are often considered damaged rather then misprinted depending on the error - basic guide for identifying damage from misprints.
Offcentre:
A off-center card is one that is cut in such a way that the sides of the cards are not even. If no alignment dot(s) are seen, the card is considered off-centre. This is the most common of errors.

Miscut (sometimes called offcut):
Likely the second most common error, these cards will either have a alignment dot visible, whole other card visible or the end of a sheet.

Twisted Miscut:
A combination of card being turned at a wrong angle during printing and then being cut at the incorrect angle leads to cards being cut into the wrong shape.

Square Cut:
This is when the typically rounded corners of the card can have 90 degree angled corners.

Flipped Back / Front:
An uncommon error where the back and fronts of the cards are flipped incorrectly. This is most famously found within the Pop 5 Series Mew card - as seen below.
Crimped:
A crimped card is rare in normal packs and more common in plastic sealed cards from promos.
It normally happens after the rollers used to seal the plastic wrapping rolls over the cards themselves.

Folded Error:
A very rare error, the card will have been folded and will likely not be printed or fused properly.

Registration Error:
A registration error occurs when a plate used in printing is out of line and even slightly can produce obvious effects.
(Left is error card, right is correct)

Obstruction Error:
An obstruction error occurs when a part of the plate used for printing is covered with something and it blocks the plate from making proper or all contact with the card on the sheet causing missing blotches of ink.

Holobleed:
Holobleed is a common error especially with modern sets becoming more commonplace, where the holographic foil used on the cards art 'bleeds' or spills over to the rest or part of the card.

Holo Error:
A holo error is when a roll of holo foil runs out or the incorrect holographic foil is used.

Mirror Holo:
A mirror holo card is a error caused by the holo film that was meant to put pressed onto the card being very lightly pressed or not pressed at all meaning no foil is visible on the card.

Holoshift:
A holoshift is when the holographic film being applied and the rest of the card is misaligned.

Printlines:
Printlines are a error that produce lines across cards that are look to be raised.

Double Print:
A double print is when two cards are printed on the same face. It is likely one of the rarest errors.

Ink Error (sometimes called stain errors):
A ink error is caused by a malfunction during the printing process. The more severe typically the rarer they are.

Printer Hickey:
A printer hickey is generally a very small ink error caused by something wrong with the printer causing a small blemish. This is another common error in modern cards.

Filler Cards / Blank Cards:
These cards are found on certain sheets and are meant to be discarded by the factory, they sometimes turn up in packs or premade decks.

Stamp Errors:
These errors are often found on entire print runs of cards and are seen within the WOTC era.

Missing Features:
These cards are often extremely rare and can range from missing a logo to being dramatic and missing large features. (This card is missing the 'Prerelease' Stamp on the bottom right of the art while still having the shadow from it.)

Is this worth anything?
r/PokemonMisprints • u/broken-records • 1h ago
Got this a few years ago. Nothing too crazy but still cool to me.
r/PokemonMisprints • u/Material-Sand-8040 • 1h ago
Anyone know why
r/PokemonMisprints • u/J0b3n11 • 9h ago
Just my luck though. Off-center or miscut?
r/PokemonMisprints • u/SifuYoda • 16h ago
People told me to try here. Anyone know?

Hi community,
First time in years I've pulled crimp error on Morpeko ex from booster box.
Any idea what should I do with it right now?
Theoretically, I could apply card to CGC (even if I'm in Europe, what I didn't knew) but would it be worth it?
r/PokemonMisprints • u/Possibly_A_Person125 • 16h ago
Start off with *Not For Sale*.
It was suggested I send this in to CGC. I did. They received it March 19th along with another card (non-error, and graded much better than I even hoped). I just got them back today, July 16th. Went with economy, but damn that was definitely longer than expected. This was a trial run for me so I would know what to expect with cards that are more worthwhile. I knew it wouldn't grade well. I still think it's pretty damn neat and unique. No clue on what it could possibly be worth. I'm curious about it, but not sure if I'll sell it soon.
I just took it out of the box and there is so much crap from the box on it. Weirdly hard to keep clean. But yeah, just wanted to update everyone and let them know I took your suggestions.

Anybody know if these are worth anything?
First one is shadowless from the OG set.
Second is first edition from jungle set but has the same art.
Third one I guess had the artwork corrected after the 1st edition run.
r/PokemonMisprints • u/TheKingAchilles • 11h ago
Are these white dots on the back (same spot, shape, each card) alignment dots?
And are these worth grading to maximize value?
r/PokemonMisprints • u/avsrghtwngr44 • 12h ago
My daughter pulled this and I don’t really know much about alignment errors. I know it has the dots so it’s an error but besides that I don’t know where to go from here. She wants to trade it to rip more Astral Radiance lol. We have a good local shop but I’ve never seen any errors in the cases or binders there. What are the next steps so my kid goes into it informed?

Found this umbreon in a childhood collection, is it a holo bleed? Holo is also visible on the umbreon. Can't find it online.
r/PokemonMisprints • u/NadoTcg • 3h ago
Hey everyone, reaching out to the more experienced collectors in the niche.
Has anybody a tipp or recommendations, for a Private seller, on where to sell missprints? Going on a bigger Holiday trip and i'm trying to maximize the Budget by selling 1 or 2 things :)
Thank you in advance!
r/PokemonMisprints • u/BLS_64 • 4h ago
Again it looks like there is border
r/PokemonMisprints • u/Agreeable-Pop-2400 • 8h ago
Found this in a old binder. Is it off center or mis cut lmk
r/PokemonMisprints • u/Ambitious_Set1402 • 4h ago
I was wondering if this was an error, the card holo seems to be shifted. Sorry about the image quality.
r/PokemonMisprints • u/100iqman • 5h ago
Back is completely clean and the part where the front layer and the cardboard would be stuck to has no rough paper residue, is it replicable?
r/PokemonMisprints • u/Mercy_17 • 5h ago
The Zarude Promo from Pitch black ETB
What is this type of error called? How unusual is it?
r/PokemonMisprints • u/WallKey2484 • 6h ago
Not for sure whether or not this is an error or how this card is supposed to look 🤔
r/PokemonMisprints • u/mi6e • 14h ago
I was going through old prismatic bulk and came across this card. Its has paldean tauros from surging sparks printed over it very faintly. Not expecting it to be of much value still really cool. Its my first "error card"
