Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on full art holofoil, surface scratches on the white artwork areas, edge wear from promo packaging, and print defects common in promo sheets.

Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top loaders with sleeves for full art promos; store in cool, dry places away from sunlight to prevent holofoil fading.

Authenticity. Verify black star promo stamp and holo pattern; fakes often have blurry artwork or incorrect font on text; cross-check with official images from Bulbapedia; graded population reports help confirm[1][2].
