Does the PSA protective slab preserve the textured surface of this card?
Yes, the professional authentication process seals the card completely inside a heavy-duty, sonic-welded plastic shell. This hard case keeps the pristine textured artwork and fragile holofoil borders permanently shielded from handling wear, edge chipping, air moisture, and surface scratch damage.
