Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues, edge whitening, surface scratches on the intricate Special Art illustration, and print lines common in Japanese high-class packs; lightly played copies often show corner wear[1].

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

Authenticity. Verify holographic patterning matches official Japanese prints, check card stock thickness and font alignment for number 240/193 SAR; compare to official scans, fakes often have blurry artwork or incorrect retreat cost icons[7].
