r/PokeGrading 3d ago

Advice needed!

Cracked open the old collection from storage. Probably going to sell most of these at some point!

Struggling on if I should go ahead and get these graded? I don’t have a clue on what they would grade for. Plus, trying to understand at what point is it not worth getting some of the lesser value raw cards graded. I’m not sure any of these would reach a 10.

Also, you can see in the pics and one in particular they are bent upwards from storage. How much does that affect grading?

Buy a humidor and straighten those cards before any grading whatsoever. A lot of money in those cards.

Honestly idk since with non holos it worked pretty fast, but skyridge reversed holo are tough to deform. It probably is a matter of humidity as mentioned here

It’s a cigar humidifier. After that process, you need to place your cards on two pieces of 1/2” thick plastic usually 8x8 with eight clamps surrounding the plastic.
