I have a Zekrom ex FA that has the etching off
The most notible parts are
The energy etching logo next to the hp is shifted.
The holo foil next to the eyes is off as well
The whole card looks like its translated but is difficult to notice since the holo etching is everywhere.
How mow much would you value this card?

Okay thanks but now a bigger question comes into mind, yesterday i pulled a mewtwo FA and it has the same features as my zekrom but to a less degree, could this be a common mistake or is there more to it?
Could you all check your full arts and see if anything is "off"?Ill put both FA soon

Yeah I think it is...I have done a lot of trading and been to 2 pre releases, probably run through about 5 FA of everything (except MEWTWO) I've seen them but they are obviously hard to trade for...and the etching on a few of them appears to be shifted just a little...it is the same on the shinnies, but hard to notice unless you have multiple copies...I have four chandy and the etching is not uniform at all...I have 2 emboars, and don't notice the difference much, and only one hydreigon and zoroark so no comparison there...

I probably would classify it as a misprint (because it did not print exactly as it should), but collecting for as long as I have, I would not feel that this is a value enhancing misprint...that is unless they opt to change the mechanism used to create the etching in which you would have a corrected error and in time you might see some value...any way just an fyi.

Last note...if you happen to get one that is way off I would hold on to it...for example if the etching for the type is next to the type rather than partially on the type...that might be an oddity enough to fetch value...

Just my humble opinions.
 
I got both images up
The zekrom ex is difficult but look at the head you can see some of it
now the mewtwo look at the cost type you can see reflection near the edge of the energy cost thats where the circle etching is.
Discuss and tell me what yall think?
edit
the zekrom is way off right next to it
 
Any time something is done in multiple processes, like the stamp that puts the pattern on these cards, there will be alignment errors. While they are legitimate errors, they are very minor. Sometimes it evens takes away from the card's value such as those which are cut off center. They can never grade out at gem mint.
