Alright, I’ll admit that I got this ID as a meme at first. I mean come on, Alaska? But once I opened the package and really started looking at it, the ID really impressed me.
The entire face of the ID is an exercise in microprinting, from simple line designs to patterns to repeated phrases across the top. There’s even microprinting inside of the raised text and pattern which adds some nicely convincing texture. Combine that with the largest multitude of colors I think I’ve seen on any ID and you get a surprise favorite template. Image and ghost image look great; good amount of shadows and seamless placement on the ID. The only hologram to speak of is the little green flower on the back, but the raised pattern on the front should do the trick for anyone who focuses on OVI when checking IDs. UV is also really nice, with a fairly simple two-color design that has softer green stars and a brighter blue main design. All information scans as correct. As always, OIS is super communicative, and their shipping was really fast (thanks to their new domestic shipping option).
Frankly, the only potential issue with this ID is that it’s fucking Alaska. If you’re a collector or are in the rare situation where Alaska doesn’t raise more problems than it solves, absolutely go for this one.
