Thanks for the response. Whats your source for this? Bulbapedia is showing that those early pops did have holographic versions in the packs - im aware that some POP promos were given out in tins, but take a look at POP series 1 - Arnaldo ex is not listed anywhere but the pack setlist.
up until pop 5 the packs cant be weighed. That is why pop 5 sealed packs (which have the espeon/umbreon goldstars) have got the value, if these where weighable these probably wont be wordt as much.
