On the Solgaleo-GX (credit: Redditor /u/SmileyJetson), you can see the holo is there, but the texture in the cards background is clearly not actually present on the card

Infinite Combos This list is strewn with them, but there are loads that didnt make the cut due to time (word count?)

My following comments are speculation, but: The card designs could have been approved around the same time period as the first wave of 1996 cards, the contract could have enforced the release date of 1997 to stagger product hitting the market, the contract could have stipulated mew was to be withheld until approved, or indefinitely, or permission triggered by some other event such as a sales target

During this time across America and Europe, it wasnt uncommon to see store shelves completely sold out of most Pokemon products
