Grading notes for Romance Dawn

Romance Dawn English prints had some early quality variance — check corners and edges closely. Manga alternate arts use a textured foil that hides micro-scratches better than Pokémon alt arts, but print lines can still kill a 10. PSA is the standard; CGC is faster but trades at a discount.
