So I’ve never run into printing issues like this before and I was kind of wondering what this was called or how it happened 🤔 does anyone know more about this kind of thing? Is it fairly common? I might keep it since I think it’s kind of neat. Thanks!

Oh wow, neat! Thanks for giving me some insight into how these happen! I actually had another sygg from the same box, but with two lines on it show up too. And thanks for letting me know on the value, but I might just keep them because they’re cool haha

Yeah definitely worth holding on to.

Back when tournaments didn't allow sleeves, you couldn't use miscut or crimped cards because they were visible. So, a lot of people would throw away their "damaged" Alpha/Beta cards. Very, very few survived to today. That means whenever you encounter a crimped or miscut piece of Power 9, it's either a fake or you're looking at a $20,000+ bill.
