Different textures on new shining pokemon?

General

Has anyone else noticed this at all? I just bought two Shining Celebi and their textures (linear) differ from my speckled texture.

First picture is the linear texture, second is speckled:

Anyone finding similar differences?

Whoops… my internet is pretty bad. Thanks for letting me know! Hopefully it’s fixed now :blush:

That’s pretty cool, I like that. Could it be a different print run or something?

or it could be q different facility that prints it. I know that has happened in the past and with other large TCGs.

Quality control at Pokemon of America is not perfect, I got a shining where the whole card is holo. I’ve also seen a Mewtube where the texture is not lined up at all with the art.

Is WotC printing Pokémon cards again? :grin:

Yeah! It’s really sweet, it would be cool to see if there are other cards with different textures.

The one with the speckled texture I opened from a box in Canada (made in US) the striped one came from a seller in czechoslovakia could be a UK print.

I’d also like to point out that there was a different ho-oh premium box for the UK. Maybe this is one of the differences.
