Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering issues on holo pattern, edge whitening, surface scratches on textured Illustration Rare foil, print lines, and corner wear; common flaws include roller marks and slight off-centering typical of Secret Rares.
Storage. Use penny sleeves and semi-rigid top-loaders; store in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation; avoid stacking without dividers.
Authenticity. Verify holo pattern consistency, sharp text in Italian ('L Attacco Rapido'), regulation mark 'I', and artist credit 'mingo'; compare to official scans on Limitless TCG; fakes often have blurry coin icons or incorrect font weights.
