Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your cards remain in the best possible condition, store unopened booster packs in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can fade the exterior packaging over time. If you decide to open the pack, use a clean, flat surface to prevent accidental creasing.
Compatibility is universal with all standard Pokemon Trading Card Game accessories, including binders, sleeves, and playmats. If you are collecting for grading, avoid excessive handling of the raw cards; utilize nitrile gloves if you are prone to transferring skin oils, and move cards directly into a high-quality protective sleeve to maintain the Near-Mint or Mint grade the series is known for.
