Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering issues on the large Downtown design, edge wear from standard size SSP, print defects common in foil parallels, and corner dings on raw copies.[1][2]
Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders or magnetic holders suitable for standard size cards; store in cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent foil fading.
Authenticity. Verify SSP hologram and card stock thickness; check serial numbering on parallels like Gold /10; use graded/graded population reports and eBay ePID for cross-reference; fake Downtown cards often have blurry printing.[1][2]
