Collector notes
Condition. Check for edge wear, corner damage, and surface scratches. Common flaws include off-center printing and potential printing defects on the card surface[2].
Storage. Store in a protective sleeve or rigid holder, and keep in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Consider using UV-protected cases for long-term preservation[1].
Authenticity. Look for proper holographic stamps, serial numbers, and manufacturer logos. Fakes often lack these details or have inconsistent printing quality. Authentication services like graded, graded, or graded can verify legitimacy[2].
