I'm getting into e-series cards and am very confused on reverse-holos. What on earth is the difference between Expedition reverse-holo Alakazam #1 and reverse-holo #33?

They look identical!

For reference:

https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-expedition/alakazam-reverse-holo-33

(The pricecharting photos looks a bit different in color but ebay posted photos look identical)

I went to ebay listings to see various photos of both #1 and #33 and I can't spot a difference at all. Expedition has four Alakazams, all with the same art: non-holo, holo, reverse-holo, and.... ???? reverse-holo?

I never opened these as a kid, I stopped collecting during Neo, so I never learned about all of this reverse-holo witchcraft 😂. Can someone explain whats going on, not only with Expedition but with Aquapolis and Skyridge as well?

Also, WHY did they seem to give regular cards and reverse-holos the SAME CARD NUMBER?! Like "alakazam 33/165" could refer to the reverse holo or the regular non-holo. Wtf, they are two different cards! It's really making things confusing, especially while browsing ebay lol
