okay, so I've had a Japanese heracross card in my possession for some time know, and I have recently began to question its authenticity.
that cris-crossy stuff is holographicness.
exhibit 1: the card is smaller than all my other cards.
exhibit 2: it seems to be made of a different material than my other cards.
exhibit 3:
side-by-side pictures of the back of the heracross, and a normal japanese card. observe how one has copyright info (normal card) and one just says Y2K game card (heracross) (take note that the scans have been resized. those are not the real proportions of the cards.) (the "normal card" is a base set koffing, if it matters.)
