Professor Stamped - Prof. Oak's ERROR

[TheDancingPeanut]

A while ago I posted about 3 misprinted (or error?) Professor Oak's I received in one of my professor orders. Well, I just secured the use of a scanner and uploaded the picture for anyone who is interested (and to prove that I wasn't making it up).

Looks normal to me, please specify on this error you speak of.

The Professor Program 2005 doesn't have any gold on it. It's more like a watermark.

Heh I see, some crazy collectors might want it.

Oh we believed you, we were just hoping someone else would get the same error cards, ........ like me!

Wierd, though, isn't it? Am I the only professor who has any of these?!?!

I wonder if the gold embossing fell off? or maybe was missed off if the tape ran out! Isn't gold foil attached using a glue (size??) so what you might have is just the glue mark. That may not make them quite so special

 

[pokeguru]

its printed lightly on the wrong side as well, so it does make it a little special :thumb:

 

[TheDancingPeanut]

I don't think it's a "glue falling off" thing... if you look closley at the scan, you'll see that there is some discoloration under the logo. I'm not sure what the printing process is, but is that area left white while the rest of the card is printed?

The 'discoloration' is the drop shadow that appears 'under' the foil embossing. If the embossing was dead-on, the 'shadow' area would be covered by it; if it's a mm or so 'off', it just looks like a shadow of the lettering/logo, done on purpose IMO... /*graphic artist mode*

Looks like a machine ran out of gold somewhere. Very well could be a limited missprint :thumb:.

'mom, if you don't believe me, I'll show it to you at worlds. :thumb:

definately sounds like a misprint...better not tell Avmozz or RainbowRichards... :biggrin: :wink:

 

[Avmozz]

What what....someone call my name?

Oooooooooo a misprint......yum yum.....gimme gimme - In fact I thought you was sending this for the new HP book mate lol

 

[Marcello-Milord]

They print the shadow on the actual card, and then "fill" the logo with the foil treatment. It seems that these cards were not inserted in the foil machine, or something similar, but packaged and shipped
It would be awesome to have 1 of those, unfortunately I only own a couple of Oaks with the foil displaced approx 1/2 mm away from where it should be, so I can see part of the same shadow of the Phoenix's cards. Maybe I'll post a scan ^_^;

 

[Shiloh Phoenix]

oh, man, that's really cool, lucky you. Now, go and exploit avmozz for like 80 * cards! (j/k avmozz, you're a great guy)

 

[TheDancingPeanut]

Whoa, whoa everyone, I didn't say I was trading these...

 

[Dom]

And if you look carefully, Proffessor Oak has a sixth finger on his left hand!

 

[RainbowRichards]

definately sounds like a misprint...better not tell Avmozz or RainbowRichards... :biggrin: :wink:

Yeah, better not! LOL (I was already here :wink: - but I don't do errors lol)

The card itself is printed correctly, but was missed in the 'foil stamping" process. It is unusual for a card to be missed, but it could happen.
