Excess Ink On Cards

Hi Guys.
I've been posting for a few days now, and I haven't formally introduced myself to the group. My name is Bill, and I am a part owner of a comic book / magic shop in Scarsdale, NY. Probablly one of the greatest things about my job, is that I get to see pretty much every card that comes through the door, as well as the contents of almost every pack opened. I trade with the customers to get cards for the store to sell, but I also trade every time I see some sort of misprint. Well, a long while ago, I got these beauties:

At the time, I had not and I haven't still seen anything else like them. If I hadn't seen the kid open the pack and want a refund for it, I wouldn't have believed it. It looks as if at some point during the printing process they got sprayed with a grey ink, and if you look at the Jilt, you can see it was probablly before the ink had completly dried because the picture is a bit blurry. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever seen such  misprints.

If I had seen them without your explanation, I would say it looks more like someone spilled or splattered something on the them after opening them.  That is an interesting error.

Yep, I've seen them. I have a couple series of cards with inking problems like that. One is a set of three Ice Age uncommons (and I know there must be more) that were pulled from separate packs, another is a bunch of Mirage commons where the ink ran out on the back side. I can line up about 10 of them like puzzle pieces, with a few that I can't fit in.

I've seen them too. Like you said, it is hard to believe that they are real. We become skeptical after awhile, & have a hard time believing such things are legit.

Not that I think that they are fake, but the resale value on those is always hurt due to their questionable legitimacy.
