Collector notes

Condition. Inspect centering on intricate full art psychic energy effects and Team Rocket logo; check for edge whitening, surface scratches on holo pattern, print lines on Mewtwo's cape; common flaws include corner dings from deck box storage and fingerprint oils on matte finish.

Storage. Use semi-rigid sleeves with top-loaders (35pt for standard thickness); store upright in cool, dry BCW boxes away from sunlight to prevent holo oxidation; avoid stacking unsleeved copies.

Authenticity. Verify thick stock and crisp black borders unique to 2025 DRI print; scan QR code on pack-fresh cards; fakes often have blurry ability text or incorrect font on 'Team Rocket's' apostrophe; cross-check serial with TCGPlayer/PriceCharting listings; prefer COA from graded/graded.
