I have been holding onto this card since 1999. I have no idea if any other like this exist. I traded for this from another kid who claimed that it came in a regular pack. The colour (of the back side), size, and weight match other legitimate Pokemon cards.

I was wondering if anyone out there has any information about this card. How rare is it? Is there any way to explain the misprint? Is a valuable as a collectors item? Any information would be appreciated.

As far as I know, there is at least one other in circulation. Here is their reddit post regarding it: www.reddit.com/r/pkmntcg/comments/1lpr3p/misprint_card_from_base_set_original_series/

Thanks

I read somewhere it is not a misprint. It is a test print. I have seen on eBay before.
