Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on the intricate borders, print lines on the detailed cosmic background, surface scratches on the glossy illustration, and edge whitening; common flaws include roller marks and minor corner dings from pulls.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders with sleeves, store in cool, dry places away from sunlight to prevent fading, and avoid stacking without dividers for high-value graded slabs.

Authenticity. Verify holographic patterns match official scans, check font consistency and numbering alignment, inspect for thin card stock or blurry artwork on fakes; use graded/graded pop reports and UV light for counterfeit detection.
