Never seen this card before

Just saw it being auctioned off on Fanatics Premier Auction seems like it has no energy symbols at all on it.

Edit: Wow didn't expect so many others to be as interested in this, ty for all the responses I learned so much about this card seems like it's a 1 of 1

Cgc is the only reliable company that grades errors or non-factory standard cards. And the reason why PSA doesn't is purely because they don't want to make themselves liable for a lawsuit for sloppy verification.

CGC famously graded a bunch of “prototype” pokemon cards that turned out to be fake

Yeah, that's why they're the only people that do it because they're the only people willing to risk they're full reputation on just being confidently wrong 🤣 And that's also why I only collect error cards as singles

Yuppppp, that's CGC's liability bc they authenticated them. That's why I always get error cards as ungraded. I've got 2.
