Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on Full Art borders, holo scratches on Mega Gengar ex artwork, edge whitening, and surface print defects common in early 2026 print runs; inspect ability text for sharpness[1].

Storage. Store in semi-rigid or top-loader sleeves with cardboard backing in cool, dry conditions away from sunlight to prevent holo fading; use BCW binders for display.

Authenticity. Verify TCGPlayer ID 676081, PriceCharting ID 11816189, and card number 269/217; fakes often have blurry ability text like 'Shadowy Concealment' or incorrect English fonts; cross-check with official Pokémon TCG database for set symbols[1][4][5].
