Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on reverse holo pattern, holo foil scratches, edge whitening, surface print defects, and corner dings common in 2006 prints.

Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves; store in cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent holo oxidation.

Authenticity. Verify black market symbol placement, font consistency on text, holo pattern alignment; compare to official scans; avoid cards with incorrect stamp positioning or blurry printing.
