We'll do our best to make it the same card. These are cards that the printers cut wrong. We will replace mis-cuts only if some words actually go off the edge of the card. If a card has a serious printing flaw, we'll replace it. Little dots of ink, or little white spots, are not a serious flaw unless there are a LOT of them.
Big smudges are a flaw.
It's caused by the device that seals the Booster Packs. It's obvious and unmistakable, and we will replace such cards. Please don't buy a POP, Starter Set or Booster Pack that shows obvious damage on the outside. If the pack is folded before you buy it, for instance, it's a good bet the cards are hurt too. If you're a dealer, talk to your distributor for more information.
