Collector notes
Condition. Inspect AR holo foil for scratches, centering on artwork, edge wear, and print defects common in Japanese packs; check for surface scratches on Spiritomb's stone texture.
Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders with sleeves in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to preserve holo shine; avoid stacking under heavy pressure.
Authenticity. Verify Japanese text, card stock thickness, and holo pattern matching official scans; fakes often have blurry attacks or incorrect font on '208/193'; cross-check with TCGPlayer ID 665879[2][4].
