Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering on holo pattern, edge wear common on radiant foil, surface scratches on matte texture, print lines or dimples typical flaws in Pokémon GO set.
Storage. Use semi-rigid top-loaders with sleeves, store upright in cool dry place away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation, avoid stacking heavy decks.
Authenticity. Verify holo pattern matches official radiant etchings, check font alignment and numbering, use blacklight for holographic authenticity, avoid cards with off-color printing or blurry text indicative of counterfeits.
