Uh, #10 is zapdos? I guess u meant to say in 2 different versions. But then as a collector, im always on the lookout for those hard-to-get cards, tho i think all the error cards cant be found anymore except in some private collection. Which is a pity, since the one rare im REALLY looking for is the D-ed butterfree.

Uh, meh.

Okaaay, here's for clarification:

Technically, theres no such thing as a card printed in 2 colors. What causes such color difference is the process of printing, which causes some cards to appear in a different color.

For example, everyone knows that fire cards r clearly orange in color. Thing is, some fire card turn out RED, and a deep shade too. There is NO way of denying the 2 colors. Does this mean that they r printed in 2 colors? No.

U see, during printing processes, there r times when too much or too little ink is printed on the cards. This causes the difference in color. One obvious example in a both in printing is the D-ed butterfree, which happens because the black ink botches up for that particular print.

Dunno bout america, but where i live, theyre called 1st-prints, meaning theyre the 1st to roll out of the press, and 1st prints of everything do indeed come out with a stronger print than the rest, tho not necessarily the case.

Im too lazy right now, but if u really want a clear example, i have 3 versions of s.potions in my collection; one w/ darker shades than normal, a slightly faded print (less ink) and normal ones of course.

So that question may or may not be invalid. HOWEVER if it were to change to 2 diff. versions of print, then zapdos is the answer due to the misprint on the top left corner in some versions.

[Water Pokemon Master]

Well, here in America, there were two versions of the holofoil Zapdos printed. When I first started collecting the cards, I got a box of Base Set and got two of each. Then, a week ago, I got 3 Base set packs from KB's and got the purple and blue background Zapdos cards. There is no doubt this is not a misprint when I have many versions of both cards and have seen many people with the different versions.

Even if the question was invalid, all of your guy's places still are the same.
