I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem, but my rev holo's they bent pretty bad over night and the regular holos didnt. Just wanted to know if this happened to anybody else.
 
I especially like that they went to the extra trouble to block out parts of the artwork, like with the regular foils.
It's more work for them and requires more processing, I would think.

One thing though, I don't think we can call the reverse holos anymore! They aren't reversed.

Maybe "parallel foil" or "parallel holo".
PF or PH. What do people like better?

I like, and am using, alternate holofoil, though I'm not sure AH will replace the prevalent use of RH... (except, maybe at a certain retired web site we all know and loved :()
 
We should just call them Reverse Holos. They aren't reverse, but why change terms just to change terms.

FWIW - I also have encountered RH rares with no large energy symbol. It's very odd.
 
I am calling them energy holos since they are holos and they have energy symbols in the background.

BTW, my Energy Holos also were totally bent overnight.

It's not just for the heck of it.
Someone coming into the game or not as familiar with the "history" of it will be confused.
It's a different treatment.

Yep, energy holo seems the most logical, I call them that as well, and they're "eh"
 
i can see why people may still call them RHs, thats their choice, but taking ignorance for bignorance, just velating, doesn't envelope emptyness gaps. Basically, they are not, but that's fine- ok, i suggest, but Parallel Foil, yep. thats best.
 
I currently refer to them as special holo's although from reading the above posts maybe we ought to call the "Bent holos"
 
I really do think Parallel Foil Set sums them up and is a term used by both players and collectors of other cards and Pokemon Cards.

I vote Parallel Foil Set it is the most descriptive term..
 
I don't think they should be called reverse holo. They are not reverse holo at all.

I think Energy Holo is the best because they are indeed holo cards and they have energies in the background. It is also the most descriptive name.

Sure, but what happens when PUI changes the foil again?
We come up with another name again?
Parallel Foil is a term that applies to the practice of including an alternate foil version of cards in the packs. It doesn't matter how that foil is done, just that it is different than the "regular" foil.
As was mentioned, it's also a term used in other CCGs.
 
I like alternate holo, personally. I've always preferred the term holo over foil. And I think "Alternate Holo" sounds a little better than "Parallel Holo".

I can live with parallel, though.
