God Tier Double Swirls

Unfortunately didn’t win it. I put a max bid but never expected it to go that high. Buyer really wanted it lol.

Fresh PSA grades:
Close double swirl and far apart double swirl ampharos. Pichu came from the same seller with the far apart ampharos, every single Neo Genesis 1st ed they had had a double swirl, I think it was from the same box.



This quad swirl pichu was a 10 contender, 9 at the worst with the centering but I shall crack and try again.

Congrats on the grades! Yep, if a box has a double swirl in one of the packs, there will definitely be others in the same booster box.

I have a recycle energy like your metal energy. The cut in half swirls are cool, and able to fit nicer.

neat Japanese pichu. While it doesn’t get close swirls, a quad swirl is the ultimate in swirl technology for the OG pattern. I had to get this in japanese and english just like you did. Its satisfying.

I believe you blocked me on Mercari lol

That umbreon is cool. I don’t know anything about that set, I wonder if that is a common occurrence

oh no, i’m sorry! let me know your username on there. nothing personal!!

i looked on ebay and came across a couple current cgc 9s listed with 2 swirls on this umbreon. could also just be what’s currently listed and not necessarily indicative of overall rarity.

The double swirl on the Umbreon looks to just be the normal spacing for a repeated holo pattern. You’ll find a lot of WotC cards with the old cosmos pattern with a half swirl on each side that have similar spacing, but it seems the Undaunted art window is just larger, so you can see full swirls for the opposite-end swirls. Still cool to see though :slightly_smiling_face: Especially the offset one.

dude wtf I just saw your PFP btw, sorry off topic a bit. Post THAT card if you haven’t yet. And where do I get one? Wow.

As far as delicatessen bird, that is amazing! I’m loving these close horizontal swirls. And thanks for sharing a less than perfect copy too. Italian neo series seems to be GOATed for close swirls. I might have to pay a little attention to them now.
