Hey there, good ol' USN Vet, here.
So.. My grandmother has had a bunch of pokemon cards that I had in a box for about 18 years. They were all in sleeves when I had them, so apparently I took great care of them and she hid them away when I moved out of her place as a kid. They're all pretty much mint condition, as well.
However, there is one card among these that strikes me as kindof odd. I know for a fact that all of them came together and I know for a fact that it's real, but it may be a misprint.
The card in question is a First Edition Poliwag. Obviously it's a base set release, as the number on it is 59/102 and it's dated with 1999 on it at the bottom along with the 1995, 96, 98, 99 numbers.
The thing that strikes me as odd, though, is that it has the jungle set icon on it. I haven't been able to find a single poliwag card with this possible misprint, because if I recall correctly, there were only 64 cards in the jungle set.
Should I post a picture of it to give you guys a better look? Also, I mean, I'm 95% sure it's a misprint, but I'd like some help from you guys if you can give me further confirmation. <3 Thank you for taking the time to read this!
