History

This ex version from Perfect Order features unique artwork and mechanics highlighting its cunning 'Last-Ditch Catch' ability.

Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering on full art borders, surface scratches on glossy holo finish, edge whitening from sleeves, print lines on artwork; common flaws include minor corner dings and fingerprint oils on lightly played copies.
Storage. Use penny sleeves and semi-rigid top loaders; store in cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent holo oxidation; avoid stacking without dividers.
Authenticity. Verify holo pattern consistency and text font matching official scans; check card number 107/88 alignment; use blacklight for PTCG security fibers; avoid deals too good to be true from unverified sellers.
