Condition. Check for corner wear, edge scratching, and centering; chrome cards are prone to surface scratches and holographic distortion. Common flaws include micro-scratches on the metallic finish and whitening on corners.
Storage. Store in a rigid top loader or semi-rigid holder, placed in a climate-controlled environment away from humidity. Use archival-quality sleeves and avoid direct sunlight exposure.
Authenticity. Verify the holographic Sapphire Refractor pattern and autograph quality; fakes often have blurry logos or inconsistent holography. Authentication should include graded, graded, or graded grading with serial number verification.
