It's edges are holo.
1st edition is gold bottom right hand corner and says 1st edition above the description on the left. a card is rare when the name is silver. a card it super when only the image is holo. a card is ultra when both the name and image and holo. secret when there are diagonly shiny lines across the image and name
A holographic card has a somewhat sparkly background when light reflects off of it. You can tell the difference between a holographic and a non-holographic card as certain color schemes are illuminated on holographic cards.
It depends if it's a holo or common. If it's a common, it's really only worth about 25 cents.
Open the pack. :) jk, (though technically it works xD ) Some people scale. I have a scale but don't weigh packs until after I open them out of curiosity. I've only weighed next destinies cards, but holo's (normal ones) weigh more than anything, with Full Arts and Shiny Pokemon weighing slightly less. If you're weighing packs in store, you should get a few piles. The heaviest should be holo's with the second heaviest being the full arts. There's a butt-ton of vids on YouTube about the specific weights. Another method I've heard of is if they're not in blisters, to bend them slightly (in a way that not permanent) and if they resist bending more than I think they're holo. Again I don't do this so YouTube is a good spot to check out. I know both are kinda vague but I thought I'd try to steer you in the right direction.
If the card is shiny, the Pokemon is a high level, or both then it is rare.
Not rare at all. promos are specifically put in tins, blisters, theme decks, and boxes (which often have jumbos in them as well), so they are common, but if it's an ex promo that you already have........ you could get a holo dark charizard... i'm trading a mewtwo ex world championships to my friend for a holo dark charizard....
It probably depends on the condition of the card.
A Holographic Pokemon card really means a shiny one
That depends on the rarity of the card. Anything Rare Holo EX, Rare ACE, Rare Prime, or Rare Holo L.V. X is worth it.
Usually, "holo" Pokemon cards have shiny material where the picture is while the rest of the card is normal. "Reverse holo" just means that the box with the picture in it is normal card material, while the rest of the card is shiny. http://img.mercadolivre.com.br/jm/img?s=MLB&f=85802026_1525.jpg&v=E Here's an example ^
Yes, you can. Often they come in the booster packs. Usually 1 per pack but sometimes you can get 2, it is just dependant. Also, if you look in a store you can get Pokemon tins, these usually have a window in the front offering a promotion holographic pokemon card dependant on which generation it is. Otherwise, if you wish to purchase a particular holo pokemon card, then use an online site such as ebay, they tend to have ebayers offering quite a vast amount of holo or reverse holo cards.
I think you mean Holo (holographic). Which in that case, it should look shiny or 3D.
ya dont thats fraud fyi and you will end up in jail
Every Terrakion Pokemon card that has been printed is at least a rare. Each pack of Pokemon cards includes at least one rare card, though it may contain a second rare card as the reverse holo.
A dot is a common, a diamond is an uncommon, a star is a rare, and if it's a holo, it will have a shiny picture and a star. Reverse holos will have the non-picture part shiny.
it depends really, if its a holo, first edition- all sorts of things check on ebay
