So I opened up a couple of cool misprints in a Dark Ascension box. The cards have the text double printed, and has only affected the double sided cards (funnily enough). Below is a scan of the two that show this the best (others have it very faintly, and sometimes it just looks like smudging of the letters).
The Loyal Cathar on the left seems to have the name, cardtype, and text of Hinterland Hermit imprinted onto it, but shifted to the right. The Loyal Cathar on the right is even more fascinating, as in the cardname box, it is obvious that Loyal Cathar was printed again, however in the description, you can see both the text for Hinterland Hermit (as evidenced by the word 'upkeep' starting above the 'th' in Cathar), and the text for Loyal Cathar (as evidenced by the word 'Vigilance' starting above the word 'dies'). Since the justification of the text for Loyal Cathar should be lined up with the word Vigilance, the fact that some text appears further to the left indicates a 3rd printing, so the Loyal Cathar on the right has actually been triple printed!

I found some of these too here in Cincinnati, Ohio. I wonder how common they are.

I have some of these (5 rares I think) from Magic 2010. I inquired about them last year or so, and I think the thread is still in the forum somewhere. I'll try to find that thread and edit this post with a link to it.
