Alakazam ex 151 Review… Is This REALLY a Gem Mint 10? | Guess That Grade
This Alakazam ex from the Pokémon 151 set looked like it had everything going for it… clean surface, strong centering, and that Gem Mint potential 👀
But once we slowed things down, a few details started to stand out.
I break down every major grading category, including:
✔ Centering analysis (front and back alignment)
✔ Surface inspection (scratches, print lines, gloss, micro impressions)
✔ Corners evaluation (softening, whitening, wear)
✔ Edges review (chipping, fraying, layer separation)
✔ Value vs grading cost — is grading financially worth it?
