Holo Swirls

[Jstraight]

Do swirls on holos add value? If so, how much? Does this look like a double swirl on this one? How much should that increase the value if any? Thanks.

I don't see what you're talking about. Could you circle it?

However, it would probably not increase the value as anything odd with the holo is usually regarded as a sign of a counterfeit.

Do you see the curly sparkly swirl on the left side of blastoise? People tend to like the holographic with the swirl - not a counterfeit. Some have it and some don't. Apparently, they're sought after.

Oh. I didn't even register that as a pattern.

I learned something new about the cards today. Just frankly something I've never thought about.

Same. I didnt either until just the other day. I heard they dont add any value unless it's the right buyer, but a lot of people like them more. A similar characteristic others look for is that some of the fossil holos were made without any stars or cosmos giving it a really dull look. Some people are willing to pay a premium on those. I was asked to take videos of a card recently so the buyer could tell whether or not it had stars in it. Mine did and so I didn't make the sale. Learn something new everyday.
