Collector notes
Condition. Key flaws to check include centering, edge wear, corner damage, and surface scratches. The alternate art and handwritten text require careful handling to avoid smudging. Look for any print defects or misalignments in the artwork[3].
Storage. Store in a rigid card sleeve or top loader, keep in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, and use a protective case for long-term storage. Avoid bending or folding the card to preserve the alternate art and handwritten details[3].
Authenticity. Fakes can be identified by checking the card's print quality, color accuracy, and text clarity. Authentication tips include verifying the card number (EB02-003), rarity (R), and confirming the card is from the official Extra Booster: Anime 25th Collection set. Look for consistent holographic effects and proper font usage on the card face[6].
