Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the collector-grade status of your Art Rare cards, it is essential to store them in acid-free, archival-quality sleeves immediately upon arrival. Place sleeved cards into rigid top-loaders or a professional-grade binder to prevent surface scratches, whitening, or bending. Avoid storing cards in direct sunlight, as UV exposure can cause long-term fading of the high-contrast inks used in these Japanese prints. Because these cards are fully recognized by major grading services, ensure you do not clean the surface with any liquid or abrasive cloths, as this can negatively impact the final grade of the card.
