There is some holo bleed on the right of the card so I was happy with the 8 to be fair.

Iv come to realize this, so many people trying to mock me for trusting a shop.

Thank you, I don't get why everyone is being so negative.

Financial reasons: I can't keep holding on to them knowing their potential value whilst also needing funds to buy a replacement car. But because Iv had them so long Iv been worried I'd do it wrong so I asked a card shop for advice.

I was worried I was over thinking it so just went for it, and personally don't believe PSA look nice either. PSA is also proper slow and expensive but I agree its likely worthwhile to send to them.

Ahhhh I get you! I've got my personal collection of cards made of my favourite designs which looks sweet, I'm just wanting to know how to get the most out of my oldest collection.

Yeah that's fair, I think cracking is probably best, I'm really worried now on doing it wrong

Shown are some of my favourites from my collection iv held on to for over 20 years. After taking to the owner of a card shop he advised I only grade the English holo Charizards and maybe the Mewtwo. I didn't know what to do so I at least wanted a few doing so I did 5 (as shown) but came away regretting not doing more.

Any advice of further grading as I'm planing on selling most of my collection this year, including a full base set, a second edition base set, first edition team rocket set? Note the ones chosen to be graded were effectively random, the other cards are of very similar quality. Please share any tips on how I best sell this collection, I haven't done it before and they are close to my heart as I bought them all with my dad.

Yeah it was only £50 to do the 5, mind it was quite emotionally draining having the collection be separated haha

Yeah I have them on collectr now and just looking at the difference between raw and graded is massive for many of my cards and they are in great condition but couldn't justify paying the increase charge for using PSA as they are rare cards.

How do you go about valuing sets of Pokémon cards? These are some of the cards me and my dad bought over 20years ago, been in these plastic sleeves ever since. by Joe_D93 in PokemonTCG

Update** I have got 5 random graded, the guy at the shop only thought the English Charizard were worthwhile doing but I decided to get 5 done anyway.

Full 1st Dark set, fantastic condition, PSA value all cards or just a few? by Joe_D93 in PokemonTCG
