Collector notes

Condition. Inspect centering on full art borders, check for print lines, surface scratches on holo pattern, edge whitening, and corner wear typical for Special Illustration Rares.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders with sleeves, store in cool dry place away from sunlight to prevent holo fading, avoid stacking under heavy weight.

Authenticity. Verify black market stamp absence, check holo pattern consistency and text sharpness against official scans, use TCGPlayer ID 676096 for reference, inspect for thin card stock or off-color printing on fakes[1][2].
