    Sorry, I've checked the other threads and therer doesn't seem to be any thread where I could write this...

    So I brought a set full of 400 random cards. So far they all seem fine then I came across these three holos; https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v46/zelpha/Cards.png

    Are these fake or not:

    MY thoughts:

    Alakazam: Never seen any cards all Holo like this? I'm sure this is fake.
    Grumpig: Checked the set list and it's not listed as a halo.
    Shedninja: The name/HP is Gold whereas sources show it as Black.

    All are printed straight and all the other usual signs are not there etc.

    Thanks in advance.
     
    Every TCG set since Legendary Collection have had alternate foil versions of almost every card in that set. Every pack of these sets has one of these alternate holos.

    The Alakazam is a reverse holo from Legendary Collection, so it is legit.

    The other two are alternate holo versions of the same cards in EX Deoxys. Cards that are normally holo in that set had their names/HP in gold text. Other rarities had the standard black text.

    Hopefully this will help.

    All of this is true, if you want a second opinion.
     
    Yup. A third opinion.

    It's true. It's true.

    I had an "alternate" Holo like the Alakazam. I used to think it was fake, too. Until I dug deeper and did some research. Also, I brought a pack of some cards from Diamond/Pearl and the holo in the pack had words on it in the corner much like the two Holos you showed. So, I'm pretty sure they're real, too.
