Cracked open a Holon Phantoms booster to find two foil Flygons! (It's a holo and a reverse holo, right? :))
Score!

They look the same to me. But congrats. :) I have that card too, but I got it from a friend as a birthday present instead of in a pack. Also, a similar thing happened to me when I opened a pack of cards I got for my birthday last year. I got two Glaceon cards, one was a normal holo and the other reverse. However, they were two different cards and not the same like your Flygon. I'll shush now. XD But congrats!

Sweet, Glaceon is awesome. I have one foil of him, I forget from which set but it's one of my favorite cards. Re the Flygons, darn if they are the same. The gold text and HP logo on the right-hand one doesn't make it different? How many versions of the same card are there! :cross-eye

Reminds me of how I managed, of two HGSS booster packs I bought last Friday, I pulled the top half of Ho-oh LEGEND in both, and then I pulled Crobat Prime in one of the two Unleashed packs I bought.

They're different actually, the one with the stamp has gold writing... I don't know enough about these sets to be able to say why that is, but I think it's just a promotional thing where some of the holos came stamped. Congrats though

That was how sets from about 2004 to 2007 did their reverse holofoil cards.

Oh really? Were all the reverse holos like that?

Pretty much, from my experience. Didn't buy many packs from then, though.

Me either, I wish I had though, I'm trying to collect the shining pokemon and they are pretty costly on their own. Never would have thought I'd be seeking out packs like holon phantoms :\

Shining Pokemon (indicated by gold stars after the name) were basically "secret" rares from these sets. They weren't very common, either.

The EX Series and especially Delta species were my favorite sets. The good old days with less overpowered cards.

Ooops, I should have posted this in the booster pack thread! Live and learn...
