Collector notes

Condition. Inspect foil surface for scratches, print defects, or centering issues common in promo foils; check edges for whitening and corners for dings; verify special stamps for clarity without smudges.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders or magnetic holders in cool, dry environment away from sunlight; sleeve in penny sleeves prior to holder insertion to prevent Newton rings on foil.

Authenticity. Examine holo pattern consistency and card stock thickness against official Bandai samples; confirm ST01-012 print code and tournament stamp alignment; avoid deals far below market ($90+ NM) as fakes mimic promos.
