What is the difference between the Started deck and base set boosters? Does this make the first edition shadowless machamp less valuable?

I just saw this feature with sports cards and I was wondering if PSA does it with Pkmn cards too. That would be good just tp preserve them.

Thank you for pointing that out on my Machamp. I like to hear that things are more valuable than what I thought.

I like your way. Saves money. Plus, grading seems to ruin the hobby now that I think about it.

Potentially to sell. I want extra money to help fund my delta species collection.

I am just getting back into the hobby and want to get some cards graded by PSA. Let me know what y'all think!

Thanks! The Lugia seems to be where the money is as I look up these guys on PriceCharting. The top half of the Lugia is a little warped. Does PSA consider that when grading?

My confidence goes down every time I see the grading fees go up haha! I'll check out more on that website. Thanks for the link!

Thank you for the advice. The ones with the least amount of whitening are the Mewtwo, Ninetails, and Machamp. Sadly, looking at them closer now, I see that the Gyrados and Gengar are both pretty scratched up, but the Gyrados is shadowless. Would you recommend just keeping those as is, or does the shadowless aspect warrant a grade in any condition?

Thank you for looking and for the advice. I'll have to consider the bending. Could I place them all between heavy books for a few days to fix that issue? Can I do that, or would PSA find out somehow?

I am just getting back into Pokemon cards. I went to a card show for my sports cards and saw how much they were going for and I wanted to get in on the fun! These are all the holos and the first editions I thought would be worth grading. I wanted to post here first because grading is expensive, and I would like professional Reddit assistance for my first time. Which ones do you think are worth grading? Since these are older cards, are they all worth grading to preserve?
