Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on the holographic Downtown design, edge chipping from foil wear, surface scratches on the shiny finish, and print defects common in SSP inserts.

Storage. Store in semi-rigid top-loaders with sleeves in a cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation; use card savers for ungraded copies.

Authenticity. Verify Panini holograms and copyright lines; check serial numbering if parallel; use graded/graded population reports for graded copies; fakes often have blurry printing or incorrect foil refraction.
