Hi,

Does anyone know anything about these old school Base, Jungle and Fossil holo cards? They all have different foils!

Does anyone else have any?!

They're all fake. The backgrounds of the illustrations aren't even the same as on the actual cards. Not to mention that Golbat Fossil was never printed as a Holo Rare.
Do to have any evolving cards (Charmander, Zubat, etc) or just non-holos in general that may have been from the same batch? The fact that these are all line toppers (except for Haunter Fossil, which actually WAS printed as a Holo Rare) suggests that there are probably more cards where these came from. And now I'm curious if non-holos from the same batch as these have solid/altered backgrounds like the holos. (Or perhaps the box these came from was an early equivalent of those cheap "Ultra Rare" bulk boxes and only had holos.)
Where did you find these cards/this picture? Or are you not comfortable sharing that information?
