Collector notes

Condition. Inspect centering on full art holo foil for whitening or print defects; check edges for dings, corners for fuzzing, surface for scratches on starry holo pattern; common flaws include roller marks on foil and minor surface scratches from promo packaging.

Storage. Use semi-rigid or magnetic holders like Ultra Pro to protect holo foil; store in cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent fading; sleeve in penny sleeves within top loaders for handling.

Authenticity. Verify thick promo stock, crisp starry holo pattern, and exact artwork by Planeta Mochizuki; check for correct SVP-161 numbering and black star promo stamp; fakes often have thin cardstock, blurry foil, or incorrect fonts; use TCGPlayer ID 586831 or Pokémon official database for comparison.
