Misprinted Homelands Rashka?

[Keevy Bogsbury]

Let me start by saying that this is my first post and I am a new member here. I have been ghosting this forum for about a year now and have been very impressed with the knowledge and collections of the members here. I am only a very small scale collector, but I enjoy reading about what many of you have come across and know about.

Now on with the actual post...

A few months ago I purchased a small lot of cards and found a Rashka The Slayer that looks as though it had the colored ink "washed" over it in the printing process. I do not know anything about the printing process so that is a purely uninformed guess. I attached a few pictures and was hoping people here might give their thoughts on it. For all I know, it could be very common.







I also have an ironroot treefolk whose coloring is much much paler and washed out in appearance than every other I've seen. I expect this is quite common, but figured I'd post a picture here for others to confirm that.



I am not entirely sure on the posting etiquette for posting images, so if I have violated a rule or this is not in the right forum, please let me know. Thanks!

Hello and welcome to the Forum.

The misprints you posted are interesting but extremely common.

The inking problem on Rashka is found very often especially in older sets dating from Fallen Empires to Urza's Saga, though it does happen in more recent sets too.

Going across my collection, I believe Homelands is actually the set that contributed most to that kind of error.

The Treefolk is also common. Revised had a ton of coloring issues varying between too light and too dark. Some of the too dark ones look awesome though.

I figured as much, but didn't know. Thanks for the expert input guys. :)

On the plus side, I finally learned what Channel did in Revised because I could actually read it, unlike the super dark UL printing..;-)
