Dark Golbat Missing Print Layer Error Card Sells for $25k

This is a Team Rocket–era misprint where a card that should show strong green Grass-type coloration on the front (left) instead comes out washed-out (right) because the sheet went through printing without receiving all four CMYK color passes. This can happen if an ink station isn’t properly loaded or a printer faults mid-run, and if the affected sheets aren’t scrapped they can make it into packs.

Fun fact: Early TCG consolidated some types with Grass type containing Poison types among others.
