Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on full art borders, print lines, edge wear, and surface scratches common on glossy ultra rare foils; inspect black backgrounds for print defects or clouding.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top loaders with sleeves, store in cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent foil fading; avoid stacking without dividers.

Authenticity. Verify holo pattern consistency, font alignment on numbering 105/088, and set symbol; compare to official scans on pokemon.com; fakes often have blurry attacks or incorrect energy costs.
