Collector notes
Condition. Check for edge wear, corner dings, and surface scratches common in Secret Rare Full Art cards. The holographic finish may be prone to micro-scratches. Look for print misalignment or color fading, especially on the artwork.
Storage. Store in a rigid top loader or penny sleeve within a Mylar bag. Keep in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the holographic effect. Avoid stacking heavy items on top.
Authenticity. Fakes often lack the fine holographic detail and crisp print quality of the original. Compare the card's weight, thickness, and holographic pattern with known authentic copies. Authentication by graded or graded can confirm authenticity, as graded copies are more secure.
