Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge wear, surface scratches, and centering on this uncommon card; common flaws include print lines on holo foil and corner dings from deck play[3].

Storage. Store in penny sleeves and top loaders, away from sunlight and humidity to preserve foil shine; use binders for display with acid-free pages.

Authenticity. Verify Japanese text, card number 136/193, and set logo match official images; check for correct holo pattern and weight—fakes often have blurry printing or incorrect UV reaction.
