Collector notes

Condition. Inspect for edge whitening, surface scratches on foil, centering issues common in starter deck prints, print lines, and dimples from deck bundling; check DON!! x2 text for clarity.

Storage. Use penny sleeves and top loaders for foils to prevent oxidation; store in cool, dry binders away from sunlight; avoid stacking in original deck boxes long-term.

Authenticity. Verify holo pattern consistency, crisp Special Stamp '3rd Anniversary ONE PIECE CARD GAME', accurate Yuki Tabata signature style, English text alignment; compare to official LimitlessTCG scans; fakes often have blurry artwork or incorrect power/cost fonts.
