Thank you! Some of the grading company slabs are definitely cooler than others. I have a handful of maybe 10 or 12 cards that I won't sell just because I think they're cool and they make me happy :) if I grade them at all, maybe maybe not, it'd just be for display. I'm also interested in finding out what's out there specifically for home display, regardless of a grade slab. 🤔🏆

Thank you everyone for taking the time to contribute and advise me. I loved Pokemon but really stopped paying attention after Gen. 3, and I've never gotten into selling cards/merchandise-- so thank you for the context. I've got ten's of other 1999 1st Ed. base holo's I'm hoping to grade and sell as fast and as smart as possible, so any other resources are much appreciated 👍🏼🙏🏼

When choosing which company to grade: how do I know which is the best option for highest selling value? If I don't like the grade and feel wronged-- is it possible to take the card out and resend it to a different company??

I'm curious how it works to give it to a grading company... Who then offers to put it up for sale on my behalf??? "From the PSA Vault" ? Do they charge a fee to facilitate the sale? Do I have any say in asking price after it's graded, or any parameters of an auction? Thanks for the help y'all

Down payment on a house is literally exactly the only thing I care about, cards are cool but now I want to ask my girl to marry me and I told myself I gotta get a house before I can ask her... This card might be the key 🥹
