Collector notes
Condition. Key things to check include centering, edge wear, surface scratches, and corner integrity. The card is extremely rare (1 of 25), so even minor flaws can significantly reduce value. Common flaws include white borders showing wear and surface haze.
Storage. Store in a rigid acrylic case or top loader with a protective sleeve. Avoid exposure to humidity, direct sunlight, and handling without gloves. For graded 10 graded copies, keep in original tamper-evident packaging.
Authenticity. Fakes often have incorrect centering, misspelled player names, or inconsistent holographic patterns. Verify the cert number (153565649) and label type (LighthouseLabel Year) against official Panini records. Graded copies should be authenticated via graded or Beckett.
