Collector notes
Condition. Key things to check include centering, surface gloss, corner sharpness, and edge wear. Common flaws include light scratches, minor corner dings, and centering issues typical of refractor variants.
Storage. Best practices include storing the card in a hard plastic protector (e.g., PENN or Toploader) and keeping it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping.
Authenticity. Authentic cards have a distinct glossy finish and precise printing details. Fakes or reprints may lack the proper refractor effect or have inconsistent printing. Authentication by graded, graded, or graded is recommended for high-value copies.
