Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on the full art borders, print lines, edge wear, and surface scratches common on holo Secret Rares; Italian language versions may have unique printing quirks.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders with sleeves, store in cool dry places away from sunlight to prevent holo fading, and consider slab grading for high-value copies.

Authenticity. Verify set number 125/094 and artist signature; fakes often have blurry artwork or incorrect holo patterns; use graded/graded authentication for graded copies, check serial numbers on slabs.
