Collector notes
Condition. Key flaws to check include edge wear on the refractor surface, corner dings, and centering. Refractor cards are prone to 'haze' or clouding if not handled properly. Graded copies (graded, graded) should be inspected for surface scratches under magnification.
Storage. Store in a rigid top loader or magnetic one-touch case to prevent bending. Keep in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to avoid refractor discoloration. Use a sleeve inside the top loader for added protection.
Authenticity. Fakes may lack the distinct 'mojo' refraction pattern or have inconsistent color gradients. Authenticate via graded or graded grading; reprints typically show lower-quality paper stock and lack the original holographic security features. Verify the BCP-241 number and Mojo Refractor text against official Bowman databases.
