The N’s Zoroark ex Misprint and How It’s Elevated the Card’s Value

It’s also now been found that a different version of this card—specifically the Ultra Rare (UR) version of the card with a gold background—has shown up misprinted in selected booster packs and boxes. The misprint adds features usually on the SAR version to the UR version.

Although the UR version is ordinarily much cheaper than the SAR version, the misprint ironically jacks up the UR version’s price, going all the way up to as much as 120,000 JPY (~US$781) per card at a minimum. PSA 10 cards of the misprinted UR version can even hit values of 600,000 JPY (~US$3,990) or more.

As such, many buyers have been going out of their way to deliberately seek out a misprinted N’s Zoroark ex card—a turn of events which almost sounds ridiculous on the surface, yet in this case “truth is stranger than fiction” (apt, considering the theme of Pokémon Black and White).
