Collector notes
Condition. When evaluating condition, check for edge wear, corner dents, surface scratches, and print alignment. Full Art variants are especially prone to micro-scratches due to the glossy finish. Common flaws include whitening on edges and slight misalignment in the artwork. [1][8]
Storage. Store the card in a rigid, non-PVC card sleeve and place it in a magnetic or plastic top loader. Keep it in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. For long-term preservation, consider grading with graded or Beckett. [6]
Authenticity. Fakes often have duller colors, incorrect text alignment, or missing Full Art details. Check the card number (BT6-017), rarity label (SPR), and publisher information. Authentic copies have a consistent glossy finish and precise engraving. graded-certified copies (e.g., graded 10) are a reliable indicator of authenticity. [2][6]
