Collector notes
Condition. Key flaws to check include centering, edge wear, and surface scratches common in Alt Art cards due to their special printing. The purple color and glossy finish may show micro-scratches more easily[3][7].
Storage. Store in a rigid top loader with a soft sleeve to prevent edge wear. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid fading of the special Alt Art print[2][8].
Authenticity. Fakes may lack the precise Alt Art holographic effect or have incorrect color saturation. Verify the card number (OP16-073) and the official set logo. Graded copies from graded or graded are more reliable for authenticity[7][8].
