Ok, swirls are cool and all but let’s be honest, big orbs? Hottest thing, right up there with swirls, nay, even better than swirls.
I’m going to start this thread off with this balling gengar (pulled from discord convo, idk where the regular scan is, I’ll update it whenever I bother looking)
How about an orb with a ring around it. I have already posted it in the swirl thread before since there wasn’t another suitable place, but I had never seen this type of holo before until I came across it in my collection (it’s a Portuguese HeartGold & SoulSilver Holofoil Rare in case anyone’s wondering).
@quuador to be honest, that foil looks similar to the modern day cosmos foil that’s used on promos. It’s so weird that back in HGSS they used a different foil from the normal cosmos foil (considering it’s likely it was printed in the same factory as English and the cardstock would have at least come from the same location?) But it looks more like Saturn.
Actually, Portuguese cards after the WotC era were printed in Brazil by the company Copag (and sold in both Brazil, as well as in Portugal for some of the early Nintendo sets - imported by the distributed Devir). So it’s plausible these rings are unique to Portuguese Holofoil cards (of the HGSS era even perhaps), and the orb is just in the perfect position. But it’s also possible rings can be found on other languages as well and it’s just a coincidence. I honestly don’t know, but it does look pretty cool regardless, and I indeed consider it a god tier orb/Saturn.
Ok, orbs and swirls are cool and all but let’s be honest, God Orb card with an Orb and a Swirl? Hottest thing, right up there with swirls and orbs nay, even better than swirls and orbs.
