Let's go to the beach, each.
I had a few misprints back when I had a lot of cards. Like:

A movie one Mewtwo promo (found in the VHS/DVD) that didn't even have a name, the space for the name was blank lol. I still have it but I was going to fill in the space.

Weird cards? I've got some. Here are some (not all) weird and misprinted cards I've got since I was, uh 4.

Old Cards (the times where 3rd Gen doesn't exist yet)
- A Yanma card which has the background of Fearow's card.
- An Ampharos card which has the background of Charmeleon's card
- Blastoise having a 200 HP
- Abra as a supporter card

New Cards (such as Ruby and Sapphire, Holon Phantoms, and Diamond and Pearl)
- Sableye card's illustration from Secret Wonders was Sumiyoshi Kizuki, but instead Ken Sugimori was written. Some sort of Typographical error, I guess?
- More spelling errors (Zangoose's "Cat Ferret" turned into "Get Ferret", etc.)

Sorry, no scans. Because I have no scanner. But I am telling the truth.

I just got a Misprint Flareon from the Platinum Rising Rivals Series
Original Card: http://serebii.net/card/risingrivals/019.shtml

My card:

That's not a misprint, that's a fake card. Why do people here keep posting info about their fake cards? -_- If this keeps up then I'll just have to close this thread...

And the same thing with most/all of these...

I had an old Dark Arbok card that said Dark Rabok... I know it wasn't fake because I got it from the same dealer I got over a thousand other cards from and none of the others had the slightest error.

I knew it wasn't a weird card, but it does have a "flaw" which makes it a misprint, as long as they didn't mean to do it...well I still like it because at least it's something. As you can see, I've never gotten anything like that so it's my first and special card.

You're right, it is a misprint/miscut card. It isn't as bad as this one of mine, but it is one.

Oh my gosh, that's really miscut! I didn't think it was a miscut because the back looks normal unlike your previous mentioned miscut cards. I'll post a pic of the back when I get the chance.
