are these all reverse holos? I've seen a few pictures of the vulpix for example. it looks reverse, but in some pics, it doesn't look like a reverse holo. are they all the same?
 
As far as I know, the platinum shining cards bear the SHx numbering and are reverse holo. This is true for the shinies from Stormfront, Platinum, Supreme Victors, and Platinum Arceus, with 3 shinies per set for 12 total.
 
The reason you may be seeing non holofoil images of the Shiny cards from that series could be from a number of reasons. The official site released images of the SH cards, and no official images ever show Holofoil. Any official image will be Non Holo. Additionally, one of the languages (I think it is Spanish) did not print the cards as Reverse Holofoil.
 
If I'm gonna to be honest, these are the worst looking out of all the SR cards in circulation. It's like they decide, "Hey, instead of making a unique SR design for this next series, why not just make the whole background holographic?"

The Platiunum series SRs were definitely a letdown to me personally.

i tend to agree.. i have one of the SH graded gem mt 10 and while it obv looks nice as a 10, i still don't love the card. I haven't really seen any for sale but I'm guessing they would go for a lot less than most other SR cards.
 
I have to say the art work on these cards Is very nice but the holo treatment on the cards is just so bad so it makes the cards seem ugly

have you ever seen the Japanese versions? they give quite a different display, so if you have one you like you should check out the alternate sparkling version :)
