Declining Outlook 4/10
30-day price drop of 10.3% from $4.70 to $4.26 in NM raw, reflecting post-release saturation[1].
Next months. Stable to further soft at $2-4 raw due to ongoing sales volume.
Long term. Low growth potential, likely $1-3 raw in 1-3 years unless set gains cult status.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering on holo pattern, edge wear from thick stock, surface scratches on prismatic foil, print lines, and common LP flaws like minor whitening or fingerprints on raw copies.
Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top loaders with sleeves for holo cards, store in cool dry place away from sunlight to prevent foil fading, avoid stacking under heavy pressure.
Authenticity. Verify prismatic holo shift and exact numbering 076/131, check font consistency and attack text against official scans, look for off-color printing or thin card stock on fakes; use TCGPlayer or official database for comparison.
