I have a mysterious fossil hp 50 card.

The normal description reads:
Play Mysterious Fossil as if it were a Basic Pokemon. While in play, Mysterious Fossil counts as a * Pokemon (as well as a Trainer card). Mysterious Fossil has no attacks of its own, cant retreat and cant be affected by any Special Conditions. etc etc.....

My card reads:

Play Mysterious Fossil as if it were a Basic Pokemon. While in play, Mysterious Fossil counts as a * Pokemon (as well as a Trainer card). Mysterious Fossil has no attacks of its own,9cant retreat and cant be affected by any Special Conditions. etc etc.....

The addition of the random 9 is surely a misprint and ive never seen it on any forum that lists misprints, can anyone shed light on this, is it rare? has anyone seen one? is there a market for description misprints

Thankyou
 
Could you provide a photo or scan of the card? It sounds like it could be a fake card to me, but that's hard to tell without seeing what the card looks like. Anytime you find a misprint from an old set that's undocumented, that's usually a huge red flag for it being a fake.
 
Unfortunately, that card is definitely a fake. The font is all wrong. Compare to here to see what a real card from the set looks like, different font with thicker letters and different kerning.

haha, oh ok, thankyou very much for that. it does look slightly different from the rest of my holon phantom collection. Just thought i would ask as im selling all my full art and holos out of the set and wondered if this was rare
 
Moved from the TCG Player Help & Advice to the Collector's Showcase & Pulls as the OP is asking of the legitimacy of a card rather than player help. ~bbninjas
