Raichu 14/102 Shadowless Holo. Set symbol misprint (lemmy.world)

Help me identify this card, the set symbol appears to be incorrect and does not match the card number. Only Base Set was printed shadowless.

I don't think holos ever looked like this. I'm pretty sure all three of the cards you've posted are fakes.

I just came across this pattern of holo being disco holo. From potentially a test print.

TBH I just dusted off the binder of cards after 20 years. It's a shame if they are all fakes.

I think the font and bad set icons indicate fakes though. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Ya I think you're right, after some more looking online I was even able to spot the set symbol is different. The tail end of the two does not match original symbols.

All three also seems to be missing spaces here and there.
