What's the best misprint you can get in a pack of cards?

    I'm referring to CCG, but if anyone out there got a TCG misprint I'd like to hear about it as well. The best misprint I got was a Tibrin Operative that has no weapon icon (it's all whited out).

    I've heard that there was an Executor misprint that had Power 120, Armor 120.

    Can anyone verify this? 120 Power/Armor seems a little far fetched. If that card does misprint does exist, then I hope someone will list it on ebay for me :)
    Does anyone know how many Qui-Gon w/Saber or Maul w/Saber Foils were made?

    My friend once bought a pack of Hoth (Decipher CCG). The card in the rare section was Dark Side on the back and COMPLETELY BLACK on the front.

    He contacted Decipher to see if it was worth anything. They said they'd send him a free Hoth pack for it. Eh. [face_plain]

    There were a number of "blank" cards from different sets, but I believe Hoth was the most common, or, at least, the first set people started noticing them in.

    I've run across the R-3PO misprint a few times (where it has the image of K-3PO).

    There was also a Lando w/axe misprint that ommitted the permanent weapon icon I believe.

    I don't believe Decipher ever corrected the Lando w/Vibro Axe misprint.

    Actually, they did. There was an article about a trade in offer and such on their website at one point.

    Humm.... are you sure about that? My recollection was that they would not be correcting the error. I'll have to hunt through Decipher's site to see if I can find the information. Thing is now... if there was a correction I suspect it's too late to get the corrected copy.

    I don't know about that Lando being corrected thing. I've seen alot of these Landos on ebay and they're always incorrect. As to R-3PO/K-3PO, the only way to get the misprinted card is in BB, and all BB in packs are misprinted. The correct BB was a mail-in replacement deal (I ended up having to spend $1.75 for it cuz I didn't get in on the deal quick enough). On that I'm still looking to get is the red text corrected Asteroid Sanctuary- I just never get around to it. Does anyone know of any other mail-in cards that exist becuase I someday hope to have one of each card in perfect condition for my collection :) Also, has anyone here ever heard about BB Admiral Ozzel? I don't know why he isn't worth more seeing as there were only about 50-60 printed. Just a fun fact I thought you may like.

    There had to be more Ozzels than that, cause I've across a bunch in the past.

    Unless, you mean 50-60 thousnad or something.

    Personally I'm still holding out to find a C-3PO with that infamous 'aroused' scene ;)

    Best misprint I every got was a whole box of YJ Reflections in which every Reflections-exclusive card had a Jedi Knights back.
    I kept a small assortment and sold the rest on eBay.
    Made enough to buy another box of Reflections... :D
    hmmm.. that box didn't have any German cards in it....
    Maybe that box was cursed.... or maybe it's just me. :)

    I'm not sure I get the reference to Admiral Ozzel? Was there an error and then a corrected release of the card? Was it a mail in replacement? I've got a couple of black border copies of him in my Hoth sets, but never heard of any issues relating to a different version of the card.

    I was referring to Foil Ozzels and White Border ones. I bought four boxes and was fortunate enough to get 1 Ozzel out of it, but that was all I needed for the time :)
    What's that I hear about German cards in Reflections? Is that for SWCCG or Young Jedi? I hope it's for SWCCG, I've never heard of German cards being made and I'd love to have a few! That reminds me, can you get regular non-foil Japanese cards in Reflections 2?
    Jedi Warrior, that wasn't a CCG or TCG card, it was just a regular trading card from 77 or 78 ( I don't know which ). If someone told you otherwise then they were lying.

    those were YJ Reflections packs with the German cards... each pack was supposed to have 3-4 German cards.. one box I got had none... each German card was replace with a Jedi Council card. :(

    My free box from Decipher's recent offer was a box of R1 that had four foils in every pack!

    " was referring to Foil Ozzels and White Border ones."

    What's wrong with the foil Ozzel?
    I have one, didn't know it was a misprint though.
