Collector notes

Condition. Inspect centering on holo borders, sharp corners/edges prone to dings, surface scratches on artwork, print lines on reverse; common flaws include whitening on edges, holo bleeding.

Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves, store in cool/dry place away from sunlight, avoid stacking heavy decks on it.

Authenticity. Check holo pattern consistency and sharp printing; fakes often have blurry text, incorrect fonts, off-color holo; verify set symbol and numbering; use UV light for paper fluorescence, compare to official scans.
