Authentication Notes

Every Yu-Gi-Oh card is checked against verified references: foil pattern and color saturation matched to its specific rarity tier, 1st edition stamp placement and ink accuracy where applicable, and card stock consistency with its claimed print era. Ghost Rares, Secret Rares, and early LOB 1st editions receive additional scrutiny.
