Is Professor Juniper #055/051 worth grading?
Grade only near-perfect copies. Most of the value sits in the PSA 10 at $479.12, 3.2× the ungraded price of $147.69. A PSA 9 sells for about $197.69, so a copy that comes back a 9 gains much less. Submit only copies with sharp corners, clean edges, and strong centering.
What to check before grading Professor Juniper
- Back edges: the dark blue Pokémon back shows whitening first, so check all four back edges under bright light.
- Surface: tilt the card under a bright light to catch print lines, scratches, and indents that a straight-on photo misses.
- Centering: PSA 10 allows roughly 55/45 to 60/40 on the front and 75/25 on the back.
Measure the borders with the card centering calculator, or read the Pokémon card grading guide.
