I think a lot of this is built around how the vintage cards, which are where you see a lot of these old holographic patterns, were being sold

The Starlight Rare rarity was effectively replaced by the Quarter Century Secret Rare rarity in both Core Booster and Battles of Legend sets released between 2023-2025 starting with Duelist Nexus (July 27, 2023)
