Condition. Check centering on front and back (Topps cards often off-center), sharp corners prone to dings, clean edges without print defects, glossy surface free of scratches or print lines; common flaws include wax stains, roller marks, and off-centering.

Storage. Store in semi-rigid top-loaders or magnetic holders with sleeves in cool, dry environment away from sunlight; use card savers for ungraded raw cards.

Authenticity. Verify 'Draft Pick' stamp alignment and font; check for correct Topps copyright on back; fakes rare due to high print run but watch for pixelated printing or incorrect blue borders; authenticate via graded/graded slab or UV light for paper consistency.
