Card Overview

Few Pokémon cards have achieved the legendary status of the Base Set Charizard. Among its many collectible variations, the Black Dot Error has become one of the most recognizable factory printing errors.

This variant is identified by a small black ink dot printed over the letter “t” in “Nintendo” on the copyright line at the bottom of the card. Unlike damage or ink stains added after production, this is a documented factory printing error found on authentic Unlimited Base Set Charizard cards.

About the Black Dot Error

The Black Dot Error is one of the best-documented recurring printing errors in the Pokémon TCG.

It can be identified by:

• A small black ink dot covering the “t” in the word “Nintendo”
• Appearing on authentic Unlimited Base Set Charizard cards
• Originating during the factory printing process
• Recognition by major grading companies and error card references

Many collectors also report slight holofoil shifts or minor holo pattern variations on some Black Dot Error examples, although these are not present on every card.

About Base Set

The expansion contains many of the hobby’s most iconic cards, including:

• Charizard
• Blastoise
• Venusaur

More than 25 years after its release, Base Set remains the most recognizable Pokémon expansion ever produced.

Collectibility & Error Variant

Unlike random print defects that appear only once, the Black Dot Error is considered a recurring print error, meaning multiple authentic copies were produced during the same print run.
