Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on Full Art borders, print lines, edge wear, surface scratches on holo pattern, and whitening on corners/edges; common flaws include roller marks and minor holo scratches.

Storage. Store in semi-rigid or top-loader sleeves with cardboard backing in cool, dry place away from sunlight; use card savers for mailers.

Authenticity. Verify holo pattern consistency, font alignment, card stock thickness, and black market indicator; compare to official scans; fakes often have blurry art or incorrect energy symbols.
