Torterra Lv. X Misprint?
Hey guys. I am new here to the forum and the reason for my post is that I have just purchased some diamond and pearl booster packs and one had a Halo Torterra Lv. X inside. But after looking over the card, I noticed that the number on the card is 120/130 instead of 122/130. I couldn't tell if it was a fake, or if it was a misprint. Maybe one of you more experienced card enthusiast can help me out. Here are some links to pics of the actual card. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Yea these are fake. There is a link on gym some place that allows you to report people selling fake cards.
This isn't even close! There isn't any bubbles in the holo. Stay away from those Flea market pokemon cards!

well, it is 120/130. the lettering is a different font, the energy symbol is about to pop out of the bubble, and the stamp looks like it was a little off when they printed it.

All those cards with the gold borders in your binder are fake.
There is only one real card with a gold border, and that's Meowth from Jungle.

Thanks Pop. To the trash they go. I just thought I can make a little money on these. I should have really thought something was up when I got a stormfront card in the great encounters series. thanks guys.

Damn, that really sucks. What did the booster packs look like? I know I've purchased some bootleg cards before and they actually came in a cardboard box

That's a totally different kind of foil, Dustin. Promo Meowth's gold border isn't a holofoil and isn't all that shiny. It's just kind of a matte kind of look
