English printed code format
Leading E plus set and number — EBP01-001 for the base booster set, ETD01-012TSP for trial-deck parallels, ESOUL-002 for Soul printings.
Where to verify a code
The card database at /cards, and the per-card page at /cards/<CODE> with the official scan.
First identifier
Printed code and card-face language, both readable without tools.
Texture and sheen method
Raking light at a shallow angle, one light source, both cards in frame — comparative only, never absolute.
Thickness method
Caliper on a five-card stack from each run, divided by five; single-card readings sit inside tolerance.
Sleeve check
Insert and remove from the sleeve you use for storage — binding at the corners is the practical difference collectors feel.
What is not verifiable
Any claim that one region's stock is 'higher quality' overall; run characteristics vary batch to batch.
