God-tier Holo Swirls Megathread

Got this in the mail today and was extremely surprised! I have never had a card with such a well placed swirl. Definitely going in the personal collection !!

I’ve always had an eye for swirls whenever I buy cards. I’ve got quite a few but they’re all stored up. I did manage to dig this one up from storage to show you guys, it’s my favorite one! I promise I’ll dig up some more when I get off work :grin:

Like a moth to the swirls :face_with_spiral_eyes: Sometimes they add a story to an artwork - that’s why I bought this one.

Here are some more I was able to dig up before work, I’ll find some more later. Enjoy!

This one is awesome because it’s also a holo bleed. In the right lighting the border looks gold.

One of my favorite cards, it hits right in the nostalgia. Glad it has a swirl.

Good ol swirl being shy

A little more to the bottom and it would’ve been perfect for that elemental blast!

1st secret rare, mint, raichu and has a swirl! I had to snag this one up

I like how this one is on a prerelease card but it’s kind of hard to capture the swirl since it’s in a dark background

Last but not least good ol snorlax with another majestic god tier new age swirl!

Got to look through the rest of my cards but while wiping down my slabbed cards, I had to appreciate the swirl on my very first Shining Gyarados:

Now what could be more godly than the God’s swirl right here?! Nice

Just noticed this an hour ago while taking pics to sell it.

I was going through some bulk and I had like 5 1st edition metal energies and 1 of them has a crazy double swirl. I thought they could not be this close together? Anyone ever see this before (@garyis2000)? Card is NM with some light scratching, but I’m not sure what to do with it.

So I went back to that charmander card and discovered it has two different types of swirls stacked up on each other. What’re the odds…

That’s amazing :grin: Seems like there are two foils overlapping.
Do some cards have a standard double foil layer? I noticed that (e.g.) Mew ex has much more sparkle going on than some other holos.

The normal swirl-distribution should look like this:

@burnedos, That’s what I thought, so I think this specific metal energy is a bit special having double swirls. They should not be so close.

@missingno,That’s awesome for the charmander! It may be in the printing for the toys r us promo holo pattern if you can cross examine others with swirls. Could be separate overlapping too which would make it even more epic!

So close and yet so far… :stuck_out_tongue:
