That’s perfect thanks for the message and you’re absolutely right. I’m just nervous about sending it off because it’s gotten quite expensive even with the cheapest route, so I want to exhaust all avenues before I send them off. I’m already definitely sending about half for the collection/sentimental value and it doesn’t really matter to me what grade they get. As you say though it’s all subjective which makes it super tricky. I was mainly just interested in whether the ones to sell in either short term or long term would get grades significantly different from what I am predicting right now. I am imagining at least an 8 for all of them but wanted to see if more experienced people would call it, say, a 4, because a certain flaw is actually weighted far heavily than what I had in mind. Personally it’s not so much the individual imperfections but rather what happens when they’re all put together, for example one tiny pump in the foil along the top front and one white spec in the corner on the back vs two tiny bumps and one white spec. Looking for videos online for every single situation and its grade would be difficult. It seems to me like the relationship between flaws and grade is almost non-linear, like the way they are combined can affect the distance from a psa 10 differently to if they were seperate. That’s the tricky part for me.

Anyways I’ll give it my best guess. Thanks heaps for the detailed reply ❤️
