I came across an odd card in a lot that someone gave to me about a year ago. The backside is perfectly normal, but the actual card face is blurry and the typeset looks thick. I assumed that it was a fake card, but today when I went out to a Battle Road tournament one of the professors there said that it was a card that had been double-printed. I was wondering if these are worth anything and/or how rare they are. I assume they must be pretty rare since I've only seen one in the last 14 years.
 
what card?... i suppose its believeable. I would hold it up to a light with another card from that set. If its more transparent, then its fake. If not, could you post a pic here? I might be interested in trading for, it if its legitimate.
 
I have seen a few. It's most likely a legitimate card, It just stuck to the card below it during printing.
 
The card is a Glaceon from Majestic Dawn. Here's a scan of it. The left edge is clipped off because of my obnoxious scanner settings, but I can assure you that the image/borders are centered (I know that one sign of a fake card is an off center print). Notice how everything is slightly blurry. It looks even stranger in real life.
