Collector notes

Condition. Check for whitening on corners, especially on the秘密 Full Art version; verify centering and edge wear. Common flaws include creasing, print lines, and surface scratches on the holographic foil[2].

Storage. Store in a rigid pochette with a toploader, keep in a climate-controlled environment away from UV light, and avoid handling the card face directly to prevent smudges and scratches[2].

Authenticity. Fakes often have incorrect holographic patterns, off-color printing, or misaligned text. Authentic Secret Full Art cards feature distinct foil textures and proper Japanese text alignment. Verify via graded or other grading services for definitive authentication[2].
