Curiously, that’s not the story for the Japanese model of the Pokémon card again, which sports activities a special design than the US one. As TAHK0 factors out in his thread, the error was fastened on the Japanese card again within the early 2000s. Why it wasn’t additionally fastened for the US model is anybody’s guess. Maybe they wished to maintain all Pokémon playing cards uniform to make sure event legality, as a deck with each designs can be thought of marked playing cards.
