Hello everyone holo is there, but it’s missing the usual cosmos swirl pattern. Instead, it’s just a flat, mirror-like shine. No signs of tampering or damage.
Has anyone seen this before? Could it be a legit foil layer error? Planning to send it to CGC for possible error labeling. Appreciate any insight or similar examples!
Pics below.
I need to build solid evidence that other cards in this set was misprinted as well
Lets journey together!
The fakes from the ex era typically are a flat holo. Posting the picture will help.
Welcome to the forum!
As I mentioned on discord, it’s difficult to evaluate a card which you don’t have in hand. I think you are getting ahead of yourself if you’re thinking of sending to CGC when it’s unclear if the card is even authentic.
Once you get the card in hand, posting pictures and a video of the holo will help us figure out whether it’s an error or not.
yes sorry i just did
You need a picture from a different angle to see the cosmos pattern.
I think it would be good to post some additional angles (or a video) of the front holo surface. The single angle you’ve shown looks similar to how a regular holo pattern might appear under that specific lighting
Whoop, @Dyl beat me to it
The resolution of the image provided is pretty poor so it’s hard to say either or, however i did find a few other examples on the market of just a dull holo that look similar. Not to say that its an error, just an old card.
In these examples the photos are good enough quality to zoom in and see the cosmos holo is indeed still there though just hard to see under certain lighting.
Echoing what others have said, better pics are needed - it could be a really faint holo, a pic with a strong light like a flashlight or bright lamp shone at an angle against the card could help show you (or us) if that’s the case.
Great! where are the sources from? can you add the link to the cards you found please
Yes when the card comes in. yourer right in person you have to play with the lighting

You can probably find more on there too i just did a quick search, it just depends on the card condition (poor) and the lighting in the photo taken that seems to create the effect.
