New type of misprint--Half-glued cards
I've run across a number of Zendikar cards like this. So far they've all been rares or Mythics. Basically, the glue only came together on part of the card, ranging from maybe 25-75%. Here's an example.
Anyone ever seen anything like this?

I've seen it, but never on finished cards. This should have been picked up way before the cards were printed. It probably means the glue application ran dry in some areas of the sheets when they were first being laminated. Usually this leaves a crease or bubble on the blank sheets (since there is a thickness difference) and is immediately noticed.
It sounds to me like Carta Mundi's QC fell asleep on this one, as they probably had more than a few opportunities to see it in the full sheets. I can understand how it wasn't found once the sheets were cut, as the whole cutting and packaging operations are pretty well automated.

Guess I just don't/didn't open enough packs. I have never seen one in real life and would like one of any kind or rarity as an example.dry cereal wrote:if I recall correctly, in some older packs you could find either half of these cards ( not partially separate).
