Condition. Check for centering issues on holo pattern, edge whitening, surface scratches on full art print, and print lines common in Sword & Shield era Ultra Rares; Alt Art prone to rainbow foil scratches[1][5].

Storage. Use semi-rigid or top-loader holders with sleeves, store upright in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent holo fading; avoid stacking without dividers[7].

Authenticity. Verify black market symbol, holo pattern alignment, and artist signature; fakes often have blurry text or incorrect font weights; use official graders like graded/graded for confirmation[1][5].
