Collector notes
Condition. Key flaws include centering, edge wear, and surface scratches. The silver parallel version is particularly sensitive to print lines and surface defects. Always check for corner dings and gloss preservation[2][5].
Storage. Store in a rigid top loader or magnetic one-touch case. Keep in a climate-controlled environment with low humidity to prevent fogging or warping. Avoid direct light exposure to preserve color integrity[2][5].
Authenticity. Fakes often have incorrect card stock thickness, poor print quality, or missing serial numbers. Authentic silver parallels have a distinct metallic sheen and precise offset printing. Verify grading labels via graded or graded databases[2][3].
