[PUZZLE?] Previously dismissed unknown images REEVALUATED I've spent all day checking these posts and the wiki to see if there is any mention of these strange inconsistent images on some of the cards (as opposed to the "message on the cards" or the ambiguous "strange numbers and images on the cards"... name them a little better next time).
Last week sometime, I noticed what I thought was a flaw in my #071 Discovery, but disregarded it after a few people confirmed they had no such image. But today, when I was looking for hints on #220 Precision, SoulsProximity1 had nearly the same discussion as I had.
Considering SoulsProximity1 (I think this was said at least) said he recieve a duplicate of this card and it also had this oddity, it was decided at that time it was just a printing error in that line of cards. But seeing as how I found the same EXACT oddity on an entirely different card, I can't say that is still the case.
I still have no idea what it looks like, but I just had an awful idea. This kinda looks like an elephant.
Here are the original discussions:
#220 Precision
#071 Discovery
Here are the related images of our two cards:

Looks more like a hand to me. Possibly catching something? And That looks like the top part of initials next to it. The Precision picture looks like the back part of a leaping horse. On looking closer, I believe they're the same image. Turn one sidways and compare.
My Discovery card doesn't have the image. Did yours come from a Wave 1-4 pack? It's obviously a different print run. I'll look at all my wave 4's and see if I find any on another card. I suppose it could just be some kind of draftsman's mark, but it's hard to see why it would be added to a card that didn't have it before.
Maybe they put it there so we'd go crazy trying to figure it out.

Try emailing mind candy asking if it is a flaw on the cards, I imagine you'll either get a "yes it is" or a "no, we've never seen those before "

I got out my cards to have a look... Precision: Same little picture; Discovery: No sign of it.
I also grabbed my UV light, and nothing.
Now I want to go look at all of my cards...

for what it's worth, my Precision does not contain the image.

Don't have Discovery, but my Precision does not seem to have the mark.
I'd say it's not out of the question for the same shaped image to be created as a result of a printing glitch. Maybe these cards are in the corner of the print sheet and sometimes get nicked or smudged by some part or other in the printing apparatus.

Interestingly, (or not) i bought a box of wave 4 cards at the London launch night. I got 2 copies of Precision, one has the image, one doesn't

If lots of people are seeing it I don't think It is photoshoped.
