Has anyone graded cards from Hidden Fates that had the all shiny/sparkle background? To my knowledge it was just one print run that had this and I’m hoping PSA graded them like normal.
Wait what? The background texture is all over the card?

Wow, I’ve never seen a print run like that from Hidden Fates. That is cool!
I’ve heard that the reprinted Hidden Fates shiny cards were like that. I have an English shiny Seviper that’s similar, although less textured than yours based on your picture. I’ve tried to make a side-by-side comparison picture just yet, but only the holo bleed is visible, the texture not really. It’s kinda like holo bleed on the entire card, but instead of just holofoil, it’s also a rough texture.
I’ve seen a bunch before on reddit. I’ll see if I can dig up some pictures.
But to answer your actual question: no idea. I haven’t seen a textured error graded before. They probably simply ignore it, although I’m not entirely sure. It’s possible they deduct points due to ‘surface damage’ perhaps?
EDIT: Here some pictures from reddit:
Can’t get the embedded video to work, so here a link to the video of the last picture instead:

Kind of? It’s hard to explain haha. That picture of the Gible is the best one I’ve gotten to portray it. I think it was the 2nd print run, and not all of it. Every card I got out of the Walmart in my town had those. Shortly after, the cards coming out of the run was super glossy. It was 2 extremes haha.

Yeah! I’m hoping that’s the case on the cards, that they just ignore it. I had a second picture to display but it won’t load up so I just posted the one!
For sure! I sold most of my HF cards off, but definitely kept those.
Kind of crazy error. You wouldn’t happen to know how much this would effect the price of the card?
I’ve also noticed on some of the regular foils have holo blend on the entire card and some dont like a regular foil. I got so many with the holo bleed i started to think it was normal lol.
To answer the question, PSA does not give enough thought about this kind of thing to even remotely care about it. Worst case scenario they may be skeptical of it’s authenticity and return it ungraded but most likely it will just be treated as any other HF card
Oh, there is also a glossy variant for the shiny Pokémon? Looks like I have another Seviper to look for. I guess you don’t have a glossy Seviper by any chance?

Really depends on how rare these cards actually are.
Pretty much all that I just opened were textured. Although I bought all the babies I was missing and got many of the glossy too.

This picture doesn’t really show it that well, but it gives you the idea of what I’m talking about. It’s super glossy, and almost reverse indented. You can see it on the edges of the cards. Its definitely way glossier than the orginal print run.

Yep! They were pretty cool. I want to grade them and was hoping someone already had and could tell me how it went!
That’s good to hear!
Sorry, forgot to answer the second part. I don’t think so, but I can check! If I do I could definitely part with it.

So apparently there is 3 versions of this? Regular, Gloss, and Full Texture?

There indeed is. I have the regular and textured Seviper and am currently looking for the glossy one to complete the trio. Currently awaiting a message from someone who said he had it.
