Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on Alt Art borders, surface scratches on manga-style artwork, edge whitening, and print lines common in foil Secret Rares; gem mint requires perfect holo patterning.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders with sleeves in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation; avoid stacking under heavy pressure.

Authenticity. Verify holo pattern consistency and font sharpness against official scans; fakes often have blurry effects text or incorrect DON!! cost alignment; check graded/graded pop reports for serial matching.
