Collector notes

Condition. Check for holo scratching on the flower pattern, centering issues common in Jungle holos, edge wear, surface scratches from pollen effect printing, and print lines on the border.

Storage. Store in semi-rigid holders or top-loaders with sleeves in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent holo foil degradation; use graded slabs for high-value copies.

Authenticity. Verify Wizards of the Coast copyright mark and Jungle set symbol; check for correct holo pattern and font; fakes often have blurry art or incorrect backing; use blacklight for shadowless vs unlimited distinction.
