Rippled Cards

Here is a printing defect that I don't think I have seen anywhere else.  These cards all came out of packs that I opened.

It looks like there was some kind of ripple in the sheet they were cut from, and you can follow the ripple across the three cards - it shows you where they were in relaton to each other on the sheet.

You have no links at all, but I think the effect you are mentioning is what collectors here call crimped.  There are a couple crimp collectors here if this is what you are speaking of.  Images would help tell this though!

I spent about 2 hours trying to get this to work properly, and apparently it only works for me when I'm signed into my Yahoo account.

Hopefully, if you copy to your computer the pictures, you shoud be able to enlarge them.

Now I see what you are saying.  I have never seen anything like this before.  A misprint collector really prizes errors when they span cards in formats like this.  I think you might get some offers on this soon.

I think this "misprint" happens when the cardboard doesn't run correctly stretched  through the roll or there are foreign substances on the roll.
I had some Alliances like those  ... now they are fragment by my kids  ;D

Ralph,

Thanks again for helping with the images. Â I thought some people would be interested in seeing these cards. I just overestimated my ability to deliver the images properly.

very nice misterpid. Another good misprint :)

Obviously caused not by packaging, but by some sort of problem *before* the print sheet is cut.

However, like many other misprints (crimps, ink smears, etc) this is probably the EASIEST to fake. Seeing as its just takes some pressure and a soft but small tool. If anyone would like proof... at some point I will opt to "make" some of these and put up scans ;)

Hi !
I have a Jester's Cap of this, too. Wanna know the secret ?
Accidently a friend of mine rolled over the card with his
(rolling) chair. The card was in a 9er sleeve so the markings
are quite soft. So it's indeed very easy to replicate this kind of a misprint as Tenacious_Dyl stated.
However I don't assume that you did it THAT way  ;)
