Collector notes

Condition. Inspect for centering on the LA Dodgers stamp and foil edges, common flaws include print lines on promo stamp, surface scratches from event handling, and corner wear on leader card borders.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders or magnetic holders with sleeves, store in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation, avoid stacking with heavier cards.

Authenticity. Verify LA Dodgers stamp texture and alignment unique to official promo; check UV-reactive security features under blacklight; fakes often have blurry text or mismatched foil sheen; authenticate via graded/graded grading or official Bandai hologram.
