@layalouhamesh Thanks for the pictures! It seems that without flash from the front is the ‘regular’ version we’re all familiar with. And with flash it seems to become a Cosmos Holofoil, like the one on the right in the picture of three of the previous page.
Based on that, and the fact that those other two variations (left and right) haven’t popped up ever apart from this one photo, I think it’s safe to say it’s just the light and angle playing here, and all three are the same regular version. Not sure how exactly the seller accomplished it, but although I was already skeptical about the error versions at first, I now definitely think there aren’t any holofoil errors despite that single picture. (@skinst@lof102 )
EDIT: I misread the post, they are two different cards and thus two different holofoil versions after all.
@quuador, I have used the flash in both cases, and can ensure the sparkles are definitely not there. I think it’s more of a misprint rather than a different version, with one layer missing.
I’ll try to make more pics when sun pops up, the difference is quite obvious.
@layalouhamesh Oh wait, they are two different cards I now see by the label. I completely misread your post, my bad. I thought they were the same card, and you used different angles/light. But it’s the opposite, you’ve used the same angle/light with two different cards. Hmm, so there are error versions out there after all. (@skinst@lof102 )
I had no idea there might be variations of this card so this thread is really shocking if it’s true. (BIG IF TRUE)
But I also don’t think the other 2 variations (if they exist as legit cards) are anywhere near appealing as the standard card. I would imagine only a misprint(?) collector would be interested for the most part.
I can almost promise that the different variations are just various levels of holo bleed or the reverse of that? Holo… absence?
I also have two different variations of the flippy boy, the one on the left is the most standard covered in glitter card that everyone knows, and the one on the right has nearly no holo at all. I actually bought the right card first and then bought the second one after it came in because I thought it had no holo on it at all until I took flash to it. I’ll take more/better pics tonight when I get home
note: you can see on the left card that it has both the fine grit holo and the larger splotches. As someone said earlier in this thread, I’m guessing they just did multiple layers of holo on holo on holo to get the effect and the variations are missing some layers
I can ensure that the 2 versions I posted above are truly different, and one misses the full sparkling layer. Still I think this is just a misprint and not another version.
I’ll post more pics when I come back from vacation if needed, but this is definitely not a matter of flash light.
Hi, I’m necroing this thread because I’m confident there are actually 3 variants. I have had 2 in my possession recently and neither are the full holo one.
Here is the first, which is the far right in the pic of 3. It does not have full holo bleed but has cosmos holo.
Now, here’s my 2nd one which stood out to me because the pattern is totally different. The pattern is more of a true foil; it lacks cosmos, has stars, and way more of a rainbow pattern present. It’s not lighting, for sure - it’s a totally different card.
I just sold the other one, which is a shame because I could show you side by side. but I’ve now seen all 3 of them and can totally confirm they are DIFFERENT prints. This one at the bottom is definitely not an error, it’s an explicitly different design.
@lof102 , @skinst , @quuador ,
hey guys ive been collecting the coro coro mew recently and i have seen this “blue” mew 3 times now and cannot find any information on the card or it legitimacy, id appreciate any info on the card. www.ebay.com/itm/402696232937
Thats what i figured but i just wanted to know if they guys who have been collecting these cards would know anything about it i havnt seen it mentioned in any other threads so thought i would ask, Thanks for the reply i appreciate it.
Its sun bleached. You can tell by the difference of the yellow on the border and the fact that the Mew hasn’t changed colour. If it really was an error, then it wouldn’t look like that.
That’s definitely due to the sun. Either by accident over the years, or on purpose. Older cards fade pretty easily.
Here an example of the Base Set Pikachu in various states of sun-discoloration, with the last one being sun-bleached on purpose in a sunny country for a year. And yes, older Japanese cards fade pretty easily as well. I have a Japanese “Get in a Jet!” ANA Flying Pikachu that’s sun-discolored as well.
