This is not a standard copy of SWSH144. The card was caught during the factory packaging/sealing process, resulting in a pronounced crimp across the bottom of the card along with a significant factory cut/miscut. The error is especially noticeable along the lower-left edge and is clearly visible in the photos.
CGC has officially authenticated and recognized the manufacturing error directly on the label as “Crimped & Cut – Error.”

You will receive the exact CGC-certified card pictured. Please review all photos carefully, as the factory error is a major characteristic of this collectible and is intentionally preserved within the CGC holder.
