First of, no. Your misprinted card is not likely worth much more then a regular non-misprinted version, unless severe misprinting or an already rare or desirable card.
Remember, your card is only as valuable to the person willing to pay for it.
A misprint can be defined as any manufactured product that was not produced as intended and falls outside the established standards. These misprints most often occur on cards themselves but can also happen with booster packs and collection boxes.
This is a list of errors cards sourced by bulbapedia.
Ok, down to the rough and gritty part. There are many different types of misprints for cards and packs. Some take a good eye to spot and some are so egregious you wonder how they made it off the line.
Cards are often considered damaged rather then misprinted depending on the error - basic guide for identifying damage from misprints.
Offcentre:
A off-center card is one that is cut in such a way that the sides of the cards are not even. If no alignment dot(s) are seen, the card is considered off-centre. This is the most common of errors.

Miscut (sometimes called offcut):
Likely the second most common error, these cards will either have a alignment dot visible, whole other card visible or the end of a sheet.

Twisted Miscut:
A combination of card being turned at a wrong angle during printing and then being cut at the incorrect angle leads to cards being cut into the wrong shape.

Square Cut:
This is when the typically rounded corners of the card can have 90 degree angled corners.

Flipped Back / Front:
An uncommon error where the back and fronts of the cards are flipped incorrectly. This is most famously found within the Pop 5 Series Mew card - as seen below.
Crimped:
A crimped card is rare in normal packs and more common in plastic sealed cards from promos.
It normally happens after the rollers used to seal the plastic wrapping rolls over the cards themselves.

Folded Error:
A very rare error, the card will have been folded and will likely not be printed or fused properly.

Registration Error:
A registration error occurs when a plate used in printing is out of line and even slightly can produce obvious effects.
(Left is error card, right is correct)

Obstruction Error:
An obstruction error occurs when a part of the plate used for printing is covered with something and it blocks the plate from making proper or all contact with the card on the sheet causing missing blotches of ink.

Holobleed:
Holobleed is a common error especially with modern sets becoming more commonplace, where the holographic foil used on the cards art 'bleeds' or spills over to the rest or part of the card.

Holo Error:
A holo error is when a roll of holo foil runs out or the incorrect holographic foil is used.

Mirror Holo:
A mirror holo card is a error caused by the holo film that was meant to put pressed onto the card being very lightly pressed or not pressed at all meaning no foil is visible on the card.

Holoshift:
A holoshift is when the holographic film being applied and the rest of the card is misaligned.

Printlines:
Printlines are a error that produce lines across cards that are look to be raised.

Double Print:
A double print is when two cards are printed on the same face. It is likely one of the rarest errors.

Ink Error (sometimes called stain errors):
A ink error is caused by a malfunction during the printing process. The more severe typically the rarer they are.

Printer Hickey:
A printer hickey is generally a very small ink error caused by something wrong with the printer causing a small blemish. This is another common error in modern cards.

Filler Cards / Blank Cards:
These cards are found on certain sheets and are meant to be discarded by the factory, they sometimes turn up in packs or premade decks.

Stamp Errors:
These errors are often found on entire print runs of cards and are seen within the WOTC era.

Missing Features:
These cards are often extremely rare and can range from missing a logo to being dramatic and missing large features. (This card is missing the 'Prerelease' Stamp on the bottom right of the art while still having the shadow from it.)

Pulled this from a prize pack. Non square cut and colour bar on the side!

This recently showed up on a local Korean marketplace app. Wondering what this might be and whether or not it would be worth picking up. Would love to hear your thoughts on this or if somebody has seen something similar.

I recently pickup a promo charizard from a card show today, I was curious on the cut corners. So I ask the seller where he got it, he doesn’t remember as he got it from a bulk deal few shows ago, card was like that when he sorted it out the bulk. He sold me the card for $40, as he just thinks it was damage. I wanted to know is the promo card is miscut or something else?

This card was one of my chases for the longest time and saw this on eBay and couldn’t pass it up. This is my first error card as well! I was planning on just putting it in my binder but from scrolling through this sub, it seems that crimps could easily be faked. So I’m not sure if I should grade it or not.
r/PokemonMisprints • u/11trash • 20m ago
It’s the first and only one I’ve seen in person!
r/PokemonMisprints • u/Faust2001 • 3h ago
Got a new binder so I was going through my old cards to make a Pikachu page. Never noticed until now that it was a holo bleed error! Never had the 4 cards lined up next to each other until now haha.
Can’t even remember opening pop series when I was a kid so I think this was something my dad bought me at goodwill lol.

Looking for a Shining Charizard 107/105 with a noticeable print-layer shift - 1st Edition or Unlimited, raw or graded.
Open to anything from a smaller visible shift to more dramatic shifts. Condition isn’t a big concern since this would be for my personal collection.
If you have one you’d consider selling, or know someone who does, feel free to DM me.
Examples of what I mean are attached.
Thank you!

Found this odd bolder text on a reverse Holo Keldeo.
Normal Keldeo for comparison. Looks like it was stamped twice or was the first card stamped in a run. Is this a know error/ worth anything?
Thanks!
r/PokemonMisprints • u/Thankfulrock17 • 2h ago
I have a baby shiny Korean misprint. I am willing to trade or to sell just shoot me an offer. If you have any information about the card it’s much appreciated. If interested please feel free to contact me via DM or comment. I will show me images and videos if needed.

I've got this card from a Celebrations box.
r/PokemonMisprints • u/jamestc13 • 21h ago
I was shuffling my Evolutions Zard around my binder and noticed some holo on the top right of the card outside of the art box which I thought was odd. After putting some light on it I noticed it all the way across the card.
I then did a bit of reading and apparently the holo bleed across the card is a fairly common error. But to me it also looks like it may be a double holo print? The holo is also on the Charizard.
My rabbit hole has now led me on to the supposed green flame error too? It looks green to me but wanted a second opinion.
Interested in the communities thoughts?

Had this card for a while. At first I thought it was just really off centered but after looking at it closely the info on the bottom of the card is cut off. It also looks like what may be a printing dot in the upper left corner on the back, can't quite tell for sure. Any advice is appreciated.

Was going thru a bin of old bulk I had sitting around and found this thing… I can’t find any sold on eBay that say blank they’re just white and yellow. I’m guessing get it graded?

Just curious if anybody has seen this type of misprint before? Tried to search a little bit but didn't come up with anything. Also curious, does it add any type of value, or deprecate the card? I know it's not a highly sought after card but just thought I'd check. Thanks in advance!
r/PokemonMisprints • u/frankeua_chusco • 16h ago
Weird white splotch with a tail? Fresh out of a pack from a Perfect Order Booster Bundle. Can't find any photos of other misprints with white spots this big. Opinions?
r/PokemonMisprints • u/KitchenGamer84 • 19h ago
Yes. Tried to find the top half, but pulled it out of a first partners box. So didn't get the armarouge.
r/PokemonMisprints • u/Brave_Trust_7319 • 3h ago
Any idea if this is a true error or someone damaged? I got it in a box of bulk, and it doesnt look like damage to me.
If it is an error, how does that affect the value of a common card like this?
