Sure thing. The seller also stated that he pulled it from a FNM pack (informally, he had no idea the one I have is the one he sold).

For comparison with the version not Misprint:

Is it possible to have a scan without the awful tape showing?

Yes, this was just to show the card, in which case it doesn't matter if there is the tape.

When you're at it, please provide the scan HQ of the Gifts Given No Date also, and out of sleeves if possible. Thanks

Thanks much for the scan. What I see is:

no date
different wording
? no silver border?
I can't tell if it is foil or not.. I assume it is.

Did I miss anything?

Basically, identical to the ones we have seen out there, with the exceptions of the missing date stamp and the different text.

Oh snap, hadn't noticed the different wording when it was on ebay.

The seller didn't realise the text error too -- would have BINed if I did, so both buyer/seller were idiots on that one.

Wonder if the text error exists on the other dateless ones.

If it did come from an FNM pack before these things would have been distributed, then it's possible it got mixed up while they were still playing around with the final design/wording/etc of the card, which means I'd almost consider this a test print. If there was a batch of dateless ones with the text error that got shipped out to retailers, you would think another would have surfaced by now. I'm liking this card the more I think about it!

This is what the seller had to say -- he happened upon the card when I posted it on facebook, and he had no idea I was the buyer:

"I pulled one of these out of a sealed pack of fnm searing spear. It included 2 spears the holiday card and a blank foil."

Not sure if I'd call it a test print, but once I get a better scan up, I'll leave it up to the majority as to what this should be categorised as if/when Alexis adds it to the site.
