What are the chances of having the exact same Holo pattern?

Hey all!

Was looking through my extras earlier today and recognized something about two of my L1 Gyara’s:

They have the same exact holo pattern! Might be hard to see but I have gone over every corner and odd dot and can say for certain that it is the same.

Now, I have a 3rd version but it doesn’t have the same holo pattern (doesn’t even have the swirl) and was wondering how common is this? I imagine that there’s more likely a chance for it to occur in Japanese than English prints but that’s a baseless claim based on the assumption of how much more care they put into their card quality.

So yeah, is this common? Can’t say I’ve come across duplicates like this in the past.
