Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering issues on foil Alt Art printing, edge whitening from foil cracking, surface scratches on textured/premium foil, and print lines typical of Japanese TCG production; corner wear common on booster-packed commons
Storage. Use semi-rigid top-loaders with sleeves for Alt Art foils, store upright in cool dry environment away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation, avoid stacking heavy decks on premium cards
Authenticity. Verify Japanese holographic pattern and crisp 'DON!!' text font; genuine cards have precise foil registration without color bleeding; check graded population reports for serial numbers; fakes often have dull foil and incorrect card stock thickness
