Hitmonlee cigar error

This looks to me to be a hitmonlee cigar error card. I don’t know if it is or what it could be estimated to be worth? Any help is appreciated

sorry I can’t upload a picture at the moment but it has 2 streaks on the left side. What are these estimated to be worth?

Cigar Hitmonlee error is in reference to a one off card with (royal leaf?) foil company’s logo printed on it. What you have is probably a orange stain hitmonlee (not offical name, but it needs a better nomenclature). Wish I could tell you what it’s worth, but I’m not sure. It’s not too terrible more expensive vs the regual hitmonlee though, just not a desirable error.

It may be a niche item that some collectors are willing to pay a premium on (not entirely sure, as I am personally not looking to buy this card and haven’t seen any wants for this card), but for everyone else I don’t see it being worth much more than what hitmonlee goes for right now.

Edit: and to rehash what cullers said, the card is probably not the cigar error, unless it looks like this:

You guys are correct it is not the cigar error- just the stain. How much does that go for nowadays? I can’t see any on ebay

To quote from my post above

does anyone on this forum actually own one? Is it really a one-off? Thought there were a few copies

What’s the condition of the card and how long is the streak?

I’m the original owner of this card. I sold it twice and bought it back once lol.

How might I go about purchasing it Gary? Care to send me contact info of where it’s located? :wink:

Gary can clear this up, but I believe the cigar error is a one-off. The stain hitmonlee (most likely the one in question) has quite a few copies floating around.

@gemmintpokemon might know something about this card. There was one of these featured in his PSA Explained video:

The raw card is shown at around the 16:00 minute mark and the returned graded card is around 36:45.

wanna sell it again? Lol

I got it in a pack in 1999. I sold it in about 2012. Bought it back in 2013. Listed it VERY high in 2016 which led to a private sale the same hour I listed it. I don’t recall who bought it:(

This card was originally MINE! I gave it to a guy named Sean in Spokane, wa. (A card dealer). He put it on eBay for me, and gave me 400.00. He made thousands on it! He better be watching his back! I’m coming for you Shawn, you dirty liar!!

:thinking:

Why are you coming for Shawn when you sold it to Sean? :thinking::thinking:
