Collector notes

Condition. Check for four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus, full original gloss, no staining, proper centering (55/45% front, 75/25% reverse), and minimal printing imperfections; common flaws include edge wear, surface scratches, and centering issues on SIR cards[5].

Storage. Store in protective sleeves, top loaders, or semi-rigid holders in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent fading or warping.

Authenticity. Verify holographic patterns, card stock thickness, print quality, and numbering match official; check for UV-reactive security features under blacklight; cross-reference with official databases like PokeDATA; avoid deals too good to be true for high-grade copies[6].
