An enlarged example of this logo is shown here. Tough call.The first print run of a set would have a special “Edition 1” logo on the left side of the card, just below the card art. So who am I going to go with here? The company that published the game, contemporaneous industry sources, and the actual pokemon collecting community, or a bunch of late to the game resellers that didn't learn about the cards and thought this was a misprint because they didn't do their homework? Hmm. And here's a link to the actual text on the back of the starter box which states 'First Edition Holographic Machamp in each box'. Here's the definition of a misprint - which, of course, requires there to be an error - there is no error here. Those contemporaneous sources are much better than a group of resellers that clearly failed to research the cards they are selling before getting into the game. Actual industry magazines at the time like Scrye, Topdeck and Inquest did not call this card a misprint when it came out. You can call it what you want, but by your logic, any starter set or theme deck exclusive card is a misprint, which is incredibly silly and is not how the industry categorizes these cards.
