Collector notes
Condition. Inspect centering on intricate bubble artwork, check for print lines on holo pattern, surface scratches on glossy finish, edge whitening, and corner wear common in SIR pulls.
Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves; store in cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent holo oxidation; avoid stacking without dividers.
Authenticity. Verify holo pattern matches official rainbow gradient; check card stock thickness and font alignment; use UV light for blacklight-reactive elements; compare to official scans; graded/graded slabs confirm authenticity.
