@wooltchi@muk I’ve personally just put it in regular in between the other unnumbered Japanese promos, but I did leave that spot empty on the other side of the page. So basically both front and back are visible in my binder.
Got the last one of these in today to finish the set of 4 Warm Pikachus. Had to go a little played to keep these affordable for me but they’re just for my binder set so I’m super happy to have them finally. Love all the artworks, especially the 95!
Was very pleased to see this reverse holo Aquapolis pair come up for sale in such solid grades (thanks eBay alerts!), and the Pikachu is a recent return from CGC I’m pretty happy with.
Philosophically, I’ve had a bit of a change of heart on reverse holos. As a kid I never had many holos, but I did have plenty of reverse holos, and commons and uncommons with favorite arts. There was one in every pack! For me, who didn’t honestly see many of the rarest cards in these sets as a kid, the reverse holos are a really cool bit of nostalgia that connects past and present. If you want to have a bit of a time travel moment, use this website and open some Aquapolis yourself!
Interestingly, reverse holos are also the very rare, almost unheard of *english exclusive* when it comes to these sets. For a short time there I was wondering why I had never seen one in Japanese. Of course, there’s also the fact that all it takes is a sneeze for these two to be low grades, and I’m very very happy to have these for my permanent collection.
I just couldn’t wait to post this until I received it. So incredibly excited to get my Giraffe boi in a 10! Stole it at a ridiculously good price as well, and couldn’t be happier. I’m still in the process of putting together my English and Japanese Girafarig master sets, but couldn’t pass this one up! Pop 2 baby!
