Collector notes

Condition. Inspect centering on all edges (secret rares prone to off-centering), check for print lines, surface scratches on gold holo pattern, edge whitening, and corner wear; common flaws include holo bleeding and roller marks from printing.

Storage. Use semi-rigid or magnetic holders sized for Japanese cards if applicable, store in cool dark place away from sunlight to prevent holo oxidation, avoid stacking without top loaders.

Authenticity. Verify gold holo pattern matches official texture (not flat print), check card stock thickness and flexibility, confirm set symbol and numbering crispness; compare to official scans on TCGPlayer or Bulbapedia, fakes often have blurry text or incorrect ability wording.
