Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering on holo pattern, edge whitening, surface scratches on full art print, print lines on crest artwork; common flaws include corner dings from tight pack pulling and fingerprint oils on glossy finish[1].

Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top loaders with sleeves, store upright in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent holo oxidation; avoid stacking without dividers[1].

Authenticity. Verify holo pattern alignment and foil texture matches official (irregular stamping indicates fake); check TCGPlayer ID 676082 or PriceCharting ID 11816192 for listings; graded population reports low graded copies; Japanese prints have different numbering like 135[1][2][6].
