Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge wear, surface scratches on foil stamping, centering on character artwork, and print defects common in anime card pressings; chibi variants prone to color fading.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders or magnetic holders, store in cool dry place away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation, sleeve in penny sleeves for stacking.

Authenticity. Verify holo patterns and card stock thickness against official unboxing videos; fakes often have blurry printing or incorrect numbering like NR-HR-056; check seller reputation on platforms like Mercari.
