Collector notes
Condition. Check for edge wear, corner softness, and surface scuffs common in raw 'Balón de Oro' cards. The card has a glossy finish that can show fingerprints easily. Ensure the gold text and border are intact [2]
Storage. Store in a hard plastic sleeve or top loader to prevent bending. Keep in a climate-controlled environment away from humidity to avoid warping or discoloration of the gold elements [2]
Authenticity. Fakes may lack the precise gold foil texture or have misaligned 'Balón de Oro' text. Verify the card number #470 and Panini logo quality. Authentic cards have a distinct holographic finish under light [2]
