It just begs me this question, because they are NOT super consistent of the quality of the digital scans of Gold Megas. There is one that it too bright and losing all the intricate details, like you can only see its face and nothing else, the other one is too dark yet the details are visible although losing its GOLD-ness. The others are just plain balance.

Man. The third pic looks rad
The first one is a good digital image of the card, #2 is actually what the card looks like without foil, there have been error copies found that look virtually identical to that, idk why their image looks that way. #3 is how it actually looks to a human being if the foil is exposed to light at just the right angle, and #4 practically looks like a texture map or something. Super weird, the only one that is actually accurate is Serebii, and I don’t think the image from Pokémon is supposed to look real. I’m more so impressed by the fact that they’re able to get such a wide range of very different looking scans of the same thing lol
only last could possibly be a real scan. The problem is the foil. If you scan this, it reflects the light and you can barely see, so they use images of how the cards look when they are sent to print.
I dont think these are digital scans, they look like the layers for printing. Especially with that texture map one, because how in the world would scanning only result in the very specific texture lines to show
Man 3rd one looks waaaay better. I hate those gold cards, they just look so boring compared to a colored one
