Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on full art borders, print lines on holo pattern, edge whitening, surface scratches from tin handling, and corner dings common in promo packs[1].

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders with sleeves in cool, dry conditions away from sunlight to preserve holo foil and colors; avoid stacking in tins long-term.

Authenticity. Verify Black Star Promo #30 stamp, holo pattern alignment, font on 'ex' and attack text matching official scans from pokemon.com; check for thin card stock or blurry printing on fakes; graded/graded slabs confirm authenticity[1][6][7].
