Collector notes
Condition. Inspect centering on holo pattern, edges for chipping common in promos, surface for print lines or scratches on fiery artwork, corners for dings; promo cards often have soft corners from packaging.
Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top loaders with sleeves; store in cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent holo fading; avoid stacking without dividers.
Authenticity. Check Black Star Promo stamp alignment and font; verify holo pattern matches official (swirling flames); use Pokémon TCG apps for scan verification; fakes often have blurry text or incorrect HP (330); grading by graded/graded/graded confirms authenticity.
