Market outlook
Stable Outlook 6/10
Minor 7-day gains (0.8-1.1%) offset by 30-day declines (-2.4% to -11.6%), typical post-release stabilization.
Next months. Stable with slight dip as supply circulates (next 3-6 months)
Long term. Rising potential if Mega series continues and graded population remains low (1-3 years)

Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering on full art borders, print lines on holofoil pattern, edge whitening, surface scratches on diamond artwork, and corner dings common in Secret Rares.
Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders or magnetic holders; store in cool, dry, UV-free environment; sleeve in penny sleeves before top loader to prevent Newton rings.
Authenticity. Verify holofoil pattern consistency, font alignment on text box, energy symbol shine; compare to official scans on Pokémon TCG database; check for off-color printing or thin card stock in fakes.
