Collector notes
Condition. Check centering on borders (Topps base prone to off-centering), corners for dings from factory packs, edges for print defects or chipping, surface for print lines, scratches, or roller marks common in high-volume base production
Storage. Use semi-rigid top-loaders or Card Saver I sleeves with cardboard inserts; store in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent fading; avoid stacking loose in boxes
Authenticity. Verify Topps hologram on back if present; check card stock thickness and print quality; for high-value grades, use graded/graded/graded; fakes rare for base rookies but watch eBay listings with blurry images or incorrect fonts
