What a holographic card is
A holographic card has a shining, reflective foil inside the artwork window. Holos are the rare cards of a set — historically one per pack — and are the format's most iconic collectibles, from Base Set Charizard to modern holo rares. Distinct from a reverse holo, where the foil is everywhere except the picture.
What drives the value
Age, Pokémon popularity and condition. Vintage WOTC-era holos and holos of fan-favourites lead the market, and because the foil scratches and whitens easily, well-centred, clean copies — especially graded — carry the biggest premiums.
Holo rares — a holofoil treatment on the artwork, the classic pack chase for most of the game's history.
How a card qualifies: Rarity is exactly Rare Holo.
