Stiff competition but my vote goes to the Rainbow.

if they stay equally unliked, goes to show how terrible they both are 
I feel like if Rainbow Rares remained exclusive to the Sun and Moon era, they would have had something going for them even if I’m personally not a fan. At the very least, they would have been unique/specific to a certain era. Including them in Sword and Shield killed them.
You’re even starting to see the plain SM Full Arts catch up to their SM Rainbow Rare cousins in price now.

It’s strange to me that public opinion has shifted so dramatically on rainbow rares. Anyone remember Pikachu VMAX selling for $2,000+? I get that alt arts are much cooler and trendier, but why not appreciate both?
Rainbow rares look cool when you hold them in person. They just get old when you have dozens in a set and something more exciting to chase after.

So I was waiting to see the gold Charizard in person before deciding how high on my backlog it would be placed. There are a ton of cards that I feel like the stock images or scans don’t do justice to. However I saw that card in person a few days ago and the colors seem just as messy in person as it does in the scan

I always thought the same thing. Some rainbows are amazing in-hand. But I was scared of the mob.

Ugly or not, texture & special effects are half the story for SR/HR/UR cards. All the finer details are lost in these images

Voted for Swarovki crystal crown - real fugly, the artist who invented it should be fired!
When rainbow cards are properly done, it’s actually very nice.
(But most rainbow cards are not properly done.)

Rainbow rares were never ugly, they were just boring and repetitive. They represented a missed chance at an actual decent card in your booster pack/box.
Tera stuff is generally just ugly, but there is opportunity for some to maybe look half decent.

SM rainbow rares can actually be really cool with the correct artwork, but SWSH ones tend to blend and they all look the same. That said, I would absolutely take those over that Charizard that looks like it was repacked from an Amazon listing.

Just lol at you if you spent hard money on these not for the purpose of playing or selling later down the line, lmao.
The first golds were decent. Rainbow to me was always trying to copy the Ghost Rare hype, which sadly were repeated cards with already shite basis to 'em. Unlike the ghosts.

The gold cards look really good texture wise but the actual Pokémon design just suck. I get each game has to have its own gimmick, but why make them look like clowns too? The opposite is true for the rainbows. Design is okay just the look is off and repetitive.
