Collector notes

Condition. Check centering on holo pattern, gold star sharpness, edge whitening, surface scratches on foil; common flaws include print lines, holo scratches, corner dings from age.

Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top loaders with sleeves; store in cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation; avoid stacking under heavy weight.

Authenticity. Verify black market correction lines on reverse, exact font/spacing on text, holo pattern alignment; fakes often have dull gold star, incorrect energy symbols; use graded/graded authentication for high value.
