Lets expand on this; Most of the Shiny/Radiant/Gold Star are ugly
I’m getting really tired of everyone highlighting the “swirl”. The swirl on it’s own ain’t anything special anymore. Appropriate placement? SURE! YES! But just a random usually swirl somewhere?! Pshh!
But on their own, the giant planet, or my favorite, “Orion’s belt” are far superior to a random swirl.
Here. Examples: random swirls with random other features. And a perfect planet chain/orion’s belt. Which catch your eye more?
The holo scratches on that Fearow catch my eye the most. But after that I agree Orion’s belt looks cool.
Cringe
Orb premium is real!
It does look good. Small blue one in one hand and picking up the big orange one is actually v v cool.
Agreed. I could care less if a card has a swirl or not. I used to think they were pretty cool but after hearing so many people obsess over them, charge premiums for their inclusion or refuse to buy a card unless it had a swirl, I want nothing more to do with them.
DESTROY ALL SWIRLS AND ACHIEVE TRUE HOLO EQUALITY
This is actually awesome lol
It is pretty cool ![]()
I think I’ve seen the same listing. It might just be up there as more of a show-off listing, which is fine because it is a pretty sweet holo pattern interaction.
I’ve spoken to the seller before. He’s turned down $10,000+ offers. He also tried to win my copy in auction, but accidentally put $1,000 rather than $10,000 as a final bid. ![]()
It’s an interesting card for sure. What sort of premium should this go for x wise?
That orb placement is relatively common on the Japanese copies, I would imagine it’s the same on English ones as well
You would think so, but I’ve seen far more Japanese copies than English.
He was trying to corner the market!
I’ve found two others. Also this ones heading the ball lol.
Can you share them?
@bbobrob He sure was!
