Professor Juniper (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Professor Juniper (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #055/051 of the BW8: Thunder Knuckle set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
