'''Error cards''', also known as ''' | '''Error cards''', also known as '''misprints''', are special cards in the TCG that have certain elements that are incorrect. They include corrected and uncorrected design errors, repeating ink misprints, and other production errors. The list of "Corrected Errors" includes design errors that saw a correction within the same print run and any notable ink errors known to occur. These cards have a very limited production size and oftentimes offer a rare glimpse into a moment from a print run. The list of "Uncorrected Errors" are mass-produced cards that never saw a correction within the same print run, making them notable, but not rare or desirable to collectors. Errors listed on the Official TCG Errata document are denoted by ''(Erratum)''. | ||
