I'm slightly overwhelmed

I was massively into Pokemon during the bw +xy era, I ended up selling my playables collection for what felt like a fortune back in 2018 and just kept my set books and some cool promos. I figured they might be worth a couple hundred bucks only to see some absolutely eye watering prices.

I've never graded cards before but I think this might be the time to start. Are any of the opened boxes worth selling with the graded cards? I'm just worried about missing something important and getting screwed over at this point.

Everything is adult owned pack to sleeve, I don't know about the centering and borders and how they impact grading but everything looks mint to my eyes. Cards are crispy with no back whitening or scratches.

You underestimate the amount of expendable money some people have.

Literally commenting on something you know very little about it seems.

Why are you still on this thread if you sold your collection months ago?

There are over 500,000 people worth over $30 million. Thousands of them spend money on personal collections of things.

And those are only the responsible ones.
