I'm qurious to see what angel misprints are out there. I have 3 currently, 2 textless Tormented Angels (one square corner and one normal) and a Red Reya Dawnbringer.

Please no crimps.

Hello, I just re-checked most of my misprints and strangely enough I own VERY few Angels (and Dragons). They're all here:

1) The obvious Spanish Serra with Time Elemental misprint
2) Very dark and out-of-focus Radiant Archangel (scan doesn't do it justice)
3) Miscut Italian BB Serra Angel with bit of blue card showing on top
4) Red Reya (why do so many exist? Shouldn't there be other Invasion rares like this? Is anybody aware of red FOIL versions?)

5) Vertically miscut Teeka's Dragon Mirage
6) Slightly blotched Shards Hellkite Overlord
7) Very dark Visions Viashivan Dragon

I do have some misprinted Shapeshifters though (do these count ?)

I forgot about the Spanish Serra I have a few of them as well. I'll have to get a scan of my red Reya it's very very red. Yours it the second one I've heard of. As for dragons I don't have anything special.....Wax back Shivan and a Wind Drake with an albino spot. I do have a really sexy Goblin Ringleader though.

There are a few other pink Reyas that I've come into contact with. Some of them indeed deserve their "red" moniker. They also come in different languages. As for whether foil ones exist, I believe a japanese one ended for about $200+ a few years ago, although my memory is hazy on that.

The real question is why Reya was the only Invasion with this printing defect. Possibly because of the hues in its picture...

I am currently looking for pink Reyas though. If anyone has spares, lmk. :)

If you're talking about 1-time printing mistakes, there's probably a near-infinite number after 16 years of Magic and at least 1 Angel in nearly every set.

If you're talking about errors, there are very few on Angels - the Serra Elemental is one of the biggest errors in the history of the game.

After that...about half of the Portuguese Darksteel "Angel's Feather" cards are missing a line of text. There's a grammer error on German WL Angelic Renewal, German Mirrodin Luminous Angel and Tempest Angelic Protector have the same name and are both "Leuchtender Engel," Portuguese Legacy Angel's Trumpet lists KevWalker, without a space in the artist line, and that is about it. Most of those aren't even actual angels!

Thank you for the info. I'm mainly interested in seeing what printing mistakes are out there.

I have a Pink Reya too

(but not that much pink)

I wouldn't mind picking up a few more but I know another collector on the forum is trying to get a few.

There are many other red-hued Invasion misprints. I have a Spreading Plague, a couple Blind Seers, and I think a few others.

Agreed: I have a Kangee, Aerie Keeper (just about as pink as the Reya from Magic61983) as well as 2 or 3 other cards with only a slight pink hue...
