Condition. Check for centering issues on holo pattern, surface scratches on full art print, edge whitening, and print lines common in Evolving Skies full arts; inspect for rainbow foil centering typical of Ultra Rares.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders or magnetic holders with cardboard inserts; store in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent holo oxidation.

Authenticity. Verify holo pattern alignment and black market line consistency; genuine French cards have precise 'Aquali V' text font and no blurry artwork; cross-check serial number via official Pokémon database or graded/graded population reports.
