the mentioned friend was pretyt sure it was legit though and I know he has a lot ofknowledge about printing etc so I honeslty dont know what to believe at this point.
If you have someone who collects this calling it legit. I'd go with that.
he is not an collector of games perse but he does use profosinal hardware to create cards etc.
he has knowledge about printing not games necesairly.
also 1 thing I should say the pics dont relay do it justice but the front is way more blueish then the pictre shows
edit: I put an long post before you repleid to this so you should check the previus page as well for an way longer comment
I would believe you considering the blue smudges on the back. again imo printed non original
go to reddit and see if other misprint collectors have something comparable.
Also
The asian version you used as a comparison doesn't matter, I compared it to a usa version since your misprint is also a usa version.
but even with the asian version print quality would be better.
It looks like shitty print quality to me personally. but hey something went wrong at the factory supposedly so who knows
