New to Pokemon, question on rarity symbol.

Kids and I were going through a few thousand older pokemon cards.  Every one of them had the normal rarity symbols except one had a Crecent Moon with a Circle next to it.  I've looked everywhere trying to figure out what the rarity symbol meant but could not find it. 

 

It's just a Trainer 91/102 Bill Card, but all the others we had were commons but this symbol was strange...any help?

That is either a misprint or fake. The rarity symbols that exist are:

 

circle = common

diamond = uncommon

star = rare, holo rare, secret rare (TR-HL)

triple star = shining Pokemon (ND)

Holofoil star (Silver foil) = Pokémon-ex, Pokémon LV.X, Pokemon Prime, Pokemon-EX, Full art Rare Ultra, secret rare (RG-BKP), Pokemon BREAK

Holofoil Star ( Gold foil) = Pokemon-star, Pokemon LEGEND.

Black Star with "Promo" written inside = Black Star Promos

Red star with "Promo" written inside (TCGO exclusive) = Red Star Promo

If it's the Bill card, there exist no Secret Rare versions of it. The forum won't let you post images BTW, so if you want, you could post the link to it as a status update on my profile. Just click my name and then click the profile feed tab. You can post the link there (if it doesn't censor it.)

I'll try that.  I have the question listed to the Blowout Forum community in the Gaming section with mulitple pictures.  It is the Bill Card.  I have like 6 Bill cards all with a Circle/common rarity symbol and this symbol is different.  No pictures on this site is a major let down.  thank you for your help.

Okay thx, will check it out..

 

*Edit* Looked at the pics, and it is not a fake card.

It looks to be a printing error where the ink had an air bubble and messed up the rarity symbol (not uncommon with the WoTC era of cards)
