Good info @quuador !

I had heard that the late/ Australian print 1999-2000 Jungle cards were glossy like the Fossil ones. It appears to be true based on your info. Wonder if the Australian printed Base 4th cards share the same card stock…

I do know on the Fossil cards it was a lot easier to see the gloss difference on the backs of the cards. Here was one shot I took of them:

Hmm, that’s indeed interesting. Does anyone has any ©1999-2000 cards they know are opened from an Australian pack?

Would be cool to have another Base Pikachu variant (©1999-2000 4th print with Australian semi-glossy back).

Greetz,

PS: I’ve deleted my duplicated post… Forum servers were tripping yesterday evening…

so even if the box has 1999-2000 on it. It is not guaranteed that the packs are 1999-2000 4th print?

This only applies to the Holos within those packs. As far as we know, only European produced packs contain 1999-2000 holos. These packs also contain 1999 holos and there’s no way of verifying.

I do not know if the Australian boxes contain 1999-2000 holos.

Got some info on a Made in the USA Base 4th Box. This box contained all Base 4th packs as seen below. The box does not contain the common indicators found in other countries however it does have some clues. Primarily the bottom of the box features only the US office info as shown below:
