Collector notes
Condition. Check for centering on full art borders, print lines on holo pattern, edge whitening, surface scratches on illustration, and corner wear; common flaws include roller marks and slight off-centering typical of modern Pokémon SIR cards.
Storage. Use semi-rigid or magnetic holders with top loaders for raw cards; store in cool, dry, UV-free environment away from direct light to prevent holo fading.
Authenticity. Verify holo pattern consistency, font alignment, and black market indicators under UV light; compare to official scans on Pokémon TCG database; graded/graded slabs confirm authenticity; watch for Chinese fakes with blurry art.
