My favorite card is the Entei Black Star Promo, which I believe uses the galaxy holo pattern for a reverse holo effect. I enjoy this reverse holo pattern the most, and have noticed it on the Pichu Black Star Promo and some Best of Game promos as well. Are there other cards or sets where they have reverse holos that use this same pattern?
Examples below if I’m wrong to call it the galaxy holo:
Very cool! Just bought a few because of you. Thanks! Anyone know if these came in those clear packs to be opened and distributed? Just curious if there are sealed cello packs of these somewhere out there.
Edit: Technically these are the set reverse holos with the set stamp in the frame of the artwork, but they could be considered “alternate holos” since the outside isn’t holographic.
I love these cards. I still have the Entei in Japanese that I got as a kid. I had the Charizard too but gave that to a friend. I wish they did more reverse holos in this way.
Yep! That’s how stores received the best of game cards. They came in packs of 8 I believe for all cards in the set. Check my collection thread to see a picture of most of the arts in a pack.
I’d recommend picking up a sealed binder, can still get them for cheap ($70-$100). Then grading yourself. If you get 10’s they should be at a market value of $450-$500 USD easily.
I just learned/ bought another card I had never heard of that uses this foil pattern on the BACKSIDE of the card. My mind was blown to learn that a card besides Ancient Mew had this on it. Had to purchase the Exchange Please!
