Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the value and condition of your Chinese Pokemon cards, follow these care guidelines:
- Storage: Always place cards in archival-safe, PVC-free sleeves immediately after opening the factory seals to prevent scratching or moisture damage.
- Environment: Keep your collection in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors and damage the card stock over time.
- Grading Prep: If you intend to grade these cards, handle them using cotton gloves and avoid touching the surface to minimize oils and fingerprints.
- Compatibility: While these are standard-sized cards compatible with most standard card binders and deck boxes, note that they are not legal for sanctioned play in regions that exclusively require English or local-language cards.
