Newbie Question...

[Scolex]

Okay, First off, I just joined, My names Eric. Hello everyone! Secondly I was wondering, Does every card have a Non-holo,holo and reverse holo card? I just started collecting and didn't want to keep looking for a holo card that doesn't exist. Thanks in advance

I don't believe every card has all of those. I know that every Prime, LvX, and Legend cards are only holo. But I'm not sure if all common and uncommon cards have both non-holo and reverse holo.

From Legendary Collection on, pretty much every card printed in full sets, save for the special holos like ex cards, LEGEND cards, and Lv. X cards, have reverse holo versions. This includes the standard holos such as Slowking from HGSS.

So Base Set thru Neo Destiny a card will either be holo or not?

Yep. Pretty much. If there's a holo and a non-holo version of a card in those sets, it'll have a different collector's number (the number in the corner of the card by the rarity symbol) between the holo and non-holo version. A couple other sets have holo and non-holo cards with different collectors numbers, though, so in some cases it's hard to tell if the reverse holofoil you've got is the holofoil or non-holofoil version.

Alright, Thanks for your help!

Well, I didn't realize this was posted when I posted the almost exact same thing! D'oh.
