yo <3 wanted to share some pokemon card alpha with ya. So people opening the 30th anni. set have been finding some crazy errors. Like stuff that should not happen or at least make it out of the factory in mass.

The "crimp and cut" error my friends, also known as the double crimp cut: is noticeably affecting the 30th set... eBay sellers are listing for high and low with the auction selling price usually ending between $20-$200 so far from what i've seen. i didn't check the sold listings tab yet, but surely there's more.

Trainers are noting that they found the crimped and cut in sequential packs out of etbs. But, a few sellers have also pulled one half in random pack breaks too. And wildest part, thats just one of the many errors the 30th set is revealing. Textures missing, high top fade miscuts, crimps, out of inks and more. When you're on eBay just type "pokemon 30th error" or "pokemon miscut" and hit enter. you can play around with the keywords; miscut, misprint, error etc etc. helps to save your search and turn on notis if desired. this can be applied to any set btw.

i guess the suits at pokemon decided to full send the printing press on this set. And it looks like this set really is one for the collectors that know. not to mention the already insane chase cards. so if you are new to breaking packs/boxes, don't throw away cards you find like that or any noticeable error pokemon card tbh. Hoard and grade em if you can.

have fun, ily <3
