Collector notes
Condition. Check centering on holo pattern, edges for whitening, surface scratches on artwork, and print lines typical for double rare foils; common flaws include edge wear and minor holo scratches.
Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top loaders with sleeves; store in cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent foil fading.
Authenticity. Verify set symbol, card number, and holo pattern match official Phantasmal Flames; check font consistency and energy symbols; fakes often have blurry text or incorrect weight.
