A Pokmon card with a holographic pattern across its entire surface, excluding the area of the main artwork, is a distinct variation within the Pokmon Trading Card Game. This type of card features a shimmering effect on the card’s background, borders, and text areas, while the central image of the Pokmon itself remains non-holographic. A common example presents a standard Pokmon card design, but instead of the character illustration being foil, the surrounding frame and any text boxes exhibit a reflective, often textured, holographic sheen.
The inclusion of these specialized cards adds collectibility and visual appeal to the game. Their relative rarity compared to standard cards makes them desirable items for collectors. Furthermore, the shimmering effect provides an aesthetic enhancement that distinguishes them from typical cards, contributing to the overall value and desirability within the trading card market. These variations have become a staple in many modern sets and are frequently sought after by both casual players and serious enthusiasts.
