Print lines on Pokemon cards are basically small, subtle lines that you might notice running across the card surface. These aren't part of the design but are caused during the printing process. They're especially notorious in holographic cards where they can be more visible due to the reflective surface. While they might be a bummer for collectors aiming for pristine condition cards, they're a part of the manufacturing process and pretty common.

Basically, print lines are like the card got a little scratched inside the printer. They're not scratches from handling though - just a quirk from when the card was made. Not all cards have them, but holographics are famous for it.

Not a big deal, IMO. Print lines are just part of the game. Adds to the uniqueness of each card.

Print lines? Minor imperfections. But they add character! Who wants a flawless card when you can have one with a story... even if that story is 'the printer did it'?
