Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge whitening, surface scratches on foil, centering issues, and print defects common in promo foils; inspect 25th Anniversary stamp for clarity.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders or magnetic holders in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent foil oxidation and warping.

Authenticity. Verify Bandai hologram, precise card text/effect matching official scans, P-033 numbering, and Event Pack Vol. 2 branding; fakes often have blurry effects or incorrect foil sheen.
