Card Sensitivity Database/PKM-MOD-HOLO

Standard holo rares from XY onward — foil confined to the artwork window, ordinary stock elsewhere, modern gloss coat over the whole face.

Not in scope: full art, textured and alt-art ultra rares (PKM-MOD-TEXTURED) · gold hyper rares (PKM-MOD-GOLD) · Special Illustration Rares (PKM-SV-SIR) · reverse holos (PKM-ALL-REVHOLO).

This is the plain holo rare — one per pack, the modern equivalent of a WOTC holo, and the least dramatic card in the modern half of this database. That is worth saying plainly, because the surrounding profiles are alarming and this one mostly is not.
