Got this M Charizard EX in and was super stoked. Pretty unique error and can’t think of a cooler card to find it on. Sorry for the watermark, not sure if I’m being paranoid but thought with the uniqueness it may be a good idea to brand it.
No Texture Error Pokemon Evolutions M Charizard EX Full Art 101/108:
I think I bought the Grey Stamp Hitmonchan off of your eBay .
Quick Question: The English Badge Promos are holo, but are there non holo version as well (like Japanese)? Also the Man Hole with the hole punch out does not have the “For Position Testing Only”, correct? How was it normally distributed? With the E3 promos?
I just bought the Hitmonchan and still have it so wasn’t me!
The English Badge promos are in fact all holo, yes. At least I’ve never seen or heard of one that isn’t.
And the Man Hole does not have the FPO text hidden on it. From what I understand they were given out at Nintendo booth at E3 in 2002. It was the 3 cards and a lanyard. My assumption is that they were for the staff and employees to use and demo on the showroom floor to show off the “new” ereader. I’ve tried looking back at old videos to see if what the goings on looked like in 2002 but haven’t seen mention or noticed them around anyone’s necks. So still a bit of mystery. Sadly I was not able to attend the convention that year.
This video had the E3 demo pack cards in it with the Japanese backs:
Video of them giving out the Demo packs at the Information Desk:
Whole bunch of no symbol Jungle cards, sadly they weren’t as “near mint” as the seller had stated
And a bunch of slabbed cards. I don’t normally go after any sort of PSA cards but they were too good of a deal to pass up for some sets I’m starting to focus on more.
Few more additions! Got a bunch of these no texture misprints from BREAKpoint. Just need 1 or 2 more to have the set (not sure if the secret rare Gyarados EX has a no texture version or not). These all have some faint texturing on the very bottom of each card but it is very light and hard to notice unless you look.
And a stanky Haunter streak misprint I stumbled across:
