Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues common in Prizm chrome cards, edge wear from prizm cracking, surface scratches on refractive parallels, print defects on borders.

Storage. Store in card saver or semi-rigid holder, top-loader for ungraded, slabbed graded copies in climate-controlled environment away from sunlight to prevent toning.

Authenticity. Verify Panini holograms and copyright on back, check print patterns against known fakes via graded/graded population reports, scan QR codes if present, avoid deals too good for market prices.
