Hi! I've been all over the interwebs and back looking for an image of this card. I can almost safely say that this card is the only one to ever be uploaded to the internet.

I got this card for Christmas five or six years ago, and being the kid I was, I thought the idea of a Defense Forme Deoxys being labeled as Attack Forme was a joke, but now that I'm older and taking a second look through my old collection, I realized that I had an anomaly. It is number 25 in the Legends Awakened set. Has anyone ever seen this card? If not, how much could it be worth? Any advice is helpful. Thanks!
 
Well, that's interesting... Deoxys does have four Forms, but if it really is mislabelled then yes that's a misprint.
 
Congratulations!!!!

You do indeed have a misprinted card.

I have just gone through my collection, and my version of this card says "Defense Forme"!!!

The only other difference I see between yours and mine, is the in the illustrators name. Yours says "Kazuaki aihara". Mine says "Kazuaki Aihara".
 
Are there places or sites I could assess the value of the card? It's not a documented misprint in Bulbapedia, so I don't know how to appraise it.
 
There is also no spCe after a comma. xD As for the value, though, I have no idea. I personally would keep it.
 
That's actually awesome. Hopefully it's worth a lot!

The card you have is NOT a misprint. It's fake. The forgers did not use the right font, did not label the illustrator correctly, used noticeably darker ink, and if you were to rip it in half, it wouldn't be made of the same card stock used by TPCi.
 
I thought something was off about that card. The 100 HP and type symbols made me a little wary. I didn't really know what to say, though.
 
Yeah, the enlarged energy symbols for the attacks, weakness and retreat costs were something I did not pick up on.

I tried to scan my copy of this card, but the quality was... pathetic to put it nicely. However, I did find a scan that is identical to mine
 
I got it in a tin with the other cards. How could it have been put in during production?
 
Compared it with the other cards. The symbols don't look different.
 
The font does look different- bolder, and the symbols are larger upon second glance. But how could forgers put the card in my tin?
 
Just to make one thing clear: my problem with the type symbols, specifically the Psychic ones, is that they're inconsistent throughout the card. Look at the Psychic symbol at the top right, then the one by Psychic Defense.

The only logical conclusion I have to this card being part of a tin: the whole tin might have been forged. But who knows?
