What are the known error cards?
What are the errors?
I searched the boards .but had no luck answering my questions.
If there is already a thread on this? If so where?
-
non error cards are anything that was printed correctly, 99.9% of cards basically.
Error cards are cards that were printed with egregious errors such as certain cards being the wrong brigade, the card type indicator being upside down, that sort of thing.
-
Two examples would be 'Kindness' from the first expansion having a cross icon instead of a bible one; and Jochebed from the women's set having no icon in her box.
I don't know the whole list, but Kindess (UN), Jochebed (WO), and Bravery of Priscilla (WO) are ones I have seen.
-
Where can I find a list of these?
-
The errors I know of are:
-Kindness from Unlimited Set: Has a cross icon instead of a Bible--not very rare
-Stolen Blessing from Patriarchs: Missing a special ability whereas the non-error has one--not very rare
-Jochebed, Lydia, Jairus' Daughter and Bravery of Priscilla: Missing their icons and abilities--rare, only a few sets of these in existence
-Various silver cards from Priests and Disciples, known examples include Birth Foretold, Wheat and Tares, Gabriel, and Angel in the Path, possibly others: The brigades appear to be white--very rare, only 1-2 of each are known about in existence.
-Several G&H deck cards (I think mostly the Purple ones): They have blank white backs, without the Redemption sword--rare, only a few sets of these are known to exist.
Other than those, there may be several cards that appear as errors, but are really only variations that are fairly commonplace. Examples include Apostles cards that have the Jesus fish going one direction on one copy and the other direction on another copy of the same card, Patriarchs cards that have different-colored borders between cards or the card art is flipped horizontally between copies, Shadow from Angel Wars has two different special abilities--one that mentions Storehouse and one that doesn't, and Storehouse has two suns in some copies. While these variations are cool, they are not really rare or valuable.

That's just what I was after
Thanks
Ive got a ton of cards off ebay that I am going through and sorting. And I wanted to look for these.
-
It is unlikely that you would have any, but if you did happen to have the white Women cards with no icons, then those would be worth something. I would bet you probably have some Kindness "Heroes" or Stolen Blessings with no SAs, but those really aren't worth anything.
-
There were also foof cards printed without backs, but I think Ken had the entire set.
-
There are also some G/H white cards printed without abilities (*/*).

Correction...I have them.

Correction (to my knowledge): It was the purple brigade, and I have those too.

I'm not aware of these errors....could you be thinking of the purple cards without numbers?
For niksag, I try to collect the super-rare errors when I have the money for them. Tax income is coming. ;D
-
Ill keep you in mind if I find any.
But like the professor said, probably wont
It wont hurt to look though, I already have hours of sorting aheaf of me.
-
Greeson buys all the nice things :'(
-
I think that when Priests debuted at Nats '06, the cards were a bit larger than the should've been.
-
Yes, I remember that! The Priests that were actually at Nats were a bit larger, and you had to have them sleeved at the tournaments that year. I don't know if anyone would even notice that anymore..
-
That was a mistake made by the printing company so the shipment that Rob brought to Nats was all like that. They aren't really errors.

I have one set of them, FooF set V. :) Do you have a complete set SS?
-

Stolen Blessing isn't technically an error either, since it was intentionally printed with and without the SA, to be a play on the title.
-
An error is an error no matter who made it. If Stolen Blessings was indeed purposely printed that way than I don't think that should be counted as an error card, but the accidentally too large cards are still an error.

Ken did warn me that one set was missing, so I would have to check to see if it is indeed set V that is gone. If it is, then would you be willing to part with it? Just so you know, I expect my income tax return in March. ;)

If you make me an offer I can't refuse, then I guess I can't refuse... ;)
-
Upon further review, I should say that I have all that Ken had.
As for complete set, I am missing....
set 2 (which I was aware of)
set 5 (which apparently The Guardian has)
The Destroyer from set 7
My completionistic OCD side of me is aching, but I will have to wait until tax money before attempting to rectify the situation. :-\

Are you referring maybe to the both-blank cards (both sides white) that show up in G+H? I know there are a few of those in my playgroup (I have two of them, I think), and I'm pretty sure my brother pulled one from a G+H deck.

I'm pretty sure that's called cardstock...
But no, it was the Purple cards without numbers.
-
As error cards go, I'm surprised to hear about some of the newer ones on the list. I tried to obtain some error cards for my collection, but SS always outbid me. ;)
I do have a quasi-error card that I like but is priceless: a 2K horses card got caught in the sealing of the pack so it has a "jagged edge".
And when I say "priceless", I mean you'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands! ;D Just like the holy trinity of my collection: Gabe autographed rookie card, Fishing Boat autographed by the Elders at Nats, and the latest is an ANB that is autographed AND has a tattoo (I call it a Champ stamp)!
-
and the latest is an ANB that is autographed AND has a tattoo (I call it a Champ stamp)!
Is that the one that I used in my 2nd Place 2011 Sealed Deck? I don't remember the tattoo...
That ANB saved me in a 5-4 game that allowed me to get around a Balaam's Disobedience. The character who played BD of course wasn't shuffled, but I was able to get my Moses on the ensuing turn, and my opponent didn't draw anything to stop it. Good times.
-
Ah yes, the "jagged edge" cards. I had a couple of those--some worse than others. I think my "best" one was Backward Shadow...should see if I can find that. Would you be interested in acquiring that one STAMP? :)

I just received it in a trade with Platinum Angel. The Champ stamp runs along the left side and bottom of card. Looks really sweet! (I should post a pic.)
Yours is on the first page of the ANB binder because you related a story with it. :)

Has it been used? If not, sure.
-
Pretty sure I never used it...I may also have a Bearing Bad News, but I'll have to do some digging around.

I'm not sure if this is an error card or not. I came across it this morning in a pile of older cards.
My 'Faith As Children' Warriors card has an emblem on the bottom that has both a Warriors 'sword' and a Women's 'W'. Are all the Faith as Children cards like that, or is it considered an error?
Thanks, Weston.

Every Faith as Children from the Warrior set that I have seen have the Sword and the W. So it is technically an error, but it is one that is on every copy of the card.
-
I believe the technical term is "misprint." See also: Invisible Beings. :)
-
See...Invisible...
Apparently I have superpowers.

I have a white Angel at Shur.

Cool! TY!! Guess I've made history in Stamps binder! ;D

I have some cards with an 'Angel' punched out of the card. What are these?

Probably were cards used for an Ironman tourney at Nationals. Each player had a different shaped punch marker on his cards to keep track of who beat him.

Interesting. My card probably would have looked like a kindergarten snowflake, if any part of it was still left after the tournament. :o

But it would have been a very pretty snowflake and that's good too!

Dont know how post it?
Pm me your email , and I can send it that way.

Once you have a picture of it, go to www.imgur.com and upload the picture there. Then post the link.

Today, I came across some prophet?/unlimited? cards that are definitely different. The white around the cards is uneven. Instead of being the same width all the way around, it is way wider on the bottom. There's basically no white on the top of the card. They belong to a friend, and I was wondering if it would be worth it to trade anything for them.
Thanks, Weston.
-
Just from the experience I have had with these cards unless the picture is all the way off the card, they are not worth anything more than what the card is normally worth. I could be wrong though.
-
There's tons of Priests cards (most of the initial printing, I think) with skewed white borders, so that's mostly common as opposed to errors, lol.
-
If anything, the lack of centering devalues the cards, since they are no longer considered "mint."
-

Cool!! I have to say ive never seen that before. Looks like the printer was off a little in the center. Very strange.
-
I have a white Angel at Shur.
I have a White Angel at Shur also..... If memory serves, there are only 3 in existence..... a trinity if you will, NOT the Trinity mind you.... ::)
Godspeed,
Mike
-
I have a blank fronted card with the redemption back. Although it's not worth much, it's still cool to have.
-
I have both 1979 Topps versions of Bump Wills - Rangers and Blue Jays. The Blue Jays card still has him wearing the Rangers uniform. ;D
