Ok, maybe with the foil off centered. But the real thing is that the picture is bigger and "compressed".

Probably explains why the foil is off-center.

They are all like that. Sorry, you don't have anything special.

Funny, I never noticed that before when I had the foil.  Huh.

There are quite a few mistakes like that, where there were entire runs that had misprints, and Decipher didn't do anything about it.  There was a Celeborn (Lord of the Galadrim, methinks?) that had the wrong number on it.  It drove me crazy when I was selling my cards because I had to show the number the card was meant to be and the number that was actually printed on the card in the title, then explain this in the item description. 

It didn't seem to make much of a difference to the people bidding on it, though.  I think that those who know LotR cards know that these things happen from time to time.

I figured out my scanner and so here's a low-resolution picture of mine. You can clearly see the foil part is not aligned.

What about a serrated top edge? Any idea what that problem is?

It is possible that the card got damaged when the pack was being sealed. That has happened from time to time.

Hmmm, it's pretty even. It looks to me like a cutting error, but you are probably right. It's a Halfling Defenses, will that double it's value to 20 cents?

Talking about weird misprints...

Here is an image of a real weird misprint I found a few years ago in a TTT-Booster. Its an foil 4U335 Uruk Camp with foil layer of 4U336 Wold of Rohan.  Has anybody ever seen anything similiar?

Wow, that's amazing.

my uruk camp foil is exactly the same as thewitchhunter's. It seems like they are all misprinted. It becomes really obvious, when you have a set, because they go right next to each other in 9er pages.

Strange stuff...

So this isn't an ultra-rare-one-of-a-kind-super-valuable-misprint...?! Damned...  ](*,)

Btw, found another Uruk Camp foil on ebay wich pic shows the same misprinted foil layer. Question now is are there any foil Uruk Camps without this misprint?

;)

Knowing what I now know, I would suggest that there are no correct printings of the card. It is just too expensive to correct from a cost angle. Sounds like Uruk Camp was then a late addition to the set or replaced another site that would've appeared later in the set.

Either way, congratulations on having a completely ordinary, albeit misprinted, uncommon foil.
