Optical Foil Diagnostic Guide: Wavy Ultra, Ultimate, Ghost & Starlight Rare
Gold foil card name + holofoil artwork box + "1st Edition" printed below bottom-left corner of artwork.
Scanner Camera Tip: Tilt camera 15° under diffused white LED to distinguish 2002 North American "Wavy" cardstock grain from "Glossy" print runs.
Gold foil name + concentric embossed metallic etching across monster artwork, level stars, and attribute icon.
Scanner Camera Tip: Capture a raking side-angle shot so the embossed texture ridge around the border frame is clearly visible.
Silver metallic name + pale monochromatic 3D depth-map holofoil that shifts color only under direct light.
Scanner Camera Tip: Inspect the foil window at 2x optical zoom: factory print lines or micro-scratches reduce PSA 10 probability by 80%.
Both feature full-card horizontal/vertical prismatic grid foil across the entire card border and text box.
Scanner Camera Tip: Check the effect text box: QCSR displays a translucent "25th" anniversary watermark stamp, whereas Starlight Rare has no watermark.
