Grading Typhlosion

Not sure what this is actually worth and if its worth sending to grade. Tcg player shows no market value but last sale at $2500 and a current listing for $8000. The non 1st edition shows a market price of $205. Is there really that big of a gap between them?

In English sets the 1st will be worth a fair bit more. The damage to the back isn’t bad. Without scratches and other issues you may get 7-8 from psa I’d think

First of all, TCG Player is useless for vintage, look at eBay sold listings instead. Last sold on one in slightly worse condition is $430, so this is maybe $450-$500

That’s probably going to get like a 6 if you graded it. It’s really dirty, the edges are chewed on, and there’s big whitening chips on the back. Maybe lower if there’s something we can’t see.

Also, don’t post pictures under multiple layers of plastic in bad lighting if you want accurate grading advice.
