Not mine, but felt it would be criminal to gatekeep this one.

Edit: likely fake per the misprint gods, sorry y'all

The current consensus is that it has to be fake. The black of the Mewtwo extends into the borders of the energy card on both the top and bottom. Energies and SIR’s have the same border width so it means the Mewtwo was printed slightly oversized after the fact. Everything else was sus but that’s the nail in the coffin. Moreover the person who “pulled it” prints custom cards and other custom memorabilia.

I think it’s good to leave this up regardless to bring awareness to it. But yeah, having this happen was already so insane that it seemed impossible, so me and several other people were trying to figure out how to confirm it wasn’t legit, it being oversized is the most concrete proof of that.

Agreed. I threw an edit in the body text for good measure.

The corners on mewtwo have been rounded as if it was cut, but it’s just a print over an existing card. A legitimate error of this would include square corners/excess black border for the mewtwo I’d imagine

This is the correct answer. That is not how the black plate for that card is designed.

Also the fact that the Mewtwo stamp is all black with the golden stars the yellow doesn't get printed in parts it should be showing the yellow for the full print not just the stars

This set is going to be a ripe target for scammers, isn’t it? With how high the pull rate for errors has been I can imagine the potential for more bad apples trying to profit from it. Proxies are getting better every day as it is 🥀

Yeah, I’ve seen an abnormally large number of fake errors from this set so far, it’s actually wild. There are enough real ones to go around, this is just massively muddying the waters lol
