Not Pokemon but some One Piece. Glad I bottled it in the recent past when weighing up whether or not to buy the Japanese version which was 2-3x more than I paid for this English version. Japanese is probably more exclusive and better quality though, no doubt.

Do you have more angles for the texture?
It doesnāt look like either English (though itās not supposed to lol) or Japanese texture.

Once I got in hand will show better pictures. This is seller pictures. But I have a Blaziken VMAX alt art in simplified and I can tell you holofoil itās different than Traditional and English ( I owned both) . While Sun & Moon era I prefer Simplified holofoil than Traditional, in Sworls & Shield I prefer more Traditional holofoil.

Iāve literally only got this one and the expensive Nami alt art from English OP01 in terms of chase cards (I do have some lower value and box topper promos that Iāve bought here and there). One Piece comes behind Pokemon and Yugioh for me but I do have shortlist of cards that I want to grab when I can, mostly the alt art āgirlā/waifu cards that I think might be good long term holds. But only if the art is good as I primarily buy what I personally like.
I think some of these other CCGs have amazing art and quality that puts the likes of Yugioh - that rarely changes that much and sometimes feels a bit stale - to shame at times. I thought the same about the crazy holos in the DBZ TCG too.
ARE the Japanese OP cards better quality than English? Havenāt seen a chase card in person so just wondering if itās like Pokemon where the textured full arts are so much better in Japanese.

So amazed to see this casually dropped this way. Very happy for you man! Thatās the dream card right there. Only gripe I have is that you didnāt do the amazing reveal in that glorious collection thread of yours, would have been one of the most cosmic updates of all time 
But no really seriously major congrats I understand that that was likely the biggest purchase / trade of your life so hereās a toast to you my friend!
