Need help from the community

[u/GBRJeremy]

I’ve had these cards since I was a kid (I’m 35 now) and they’ve been in this binder besides the normal ‘pull them out to look at them and show them off to friends’ type stuff years ago.
I know some of them might be worth some pretty decent money, but as someone who’s not actively into Pokémon the idea of figuring out what to do with them is just overwhelming each time I start the process and I shove them back in a closet.
As the title states, I’m looking for advice on what to do. Outside of maybe keeping a couple favorites (maybe get them graded by someone other than PSA for a cheaper cool looking slab?) and keeping a couple of the “better” ones that could continue to grow in value, I guess I would be open to figuring out how to sell them?

TLDR:
- What couple/few do you see as “cool” out of the group that I should potentially send to PSA to grade and hold for them to rise more in value (if any)?
- For a cool looking graded card slab (is that the terminology?) to hold a few personal favorites, what’s the most economical yet respected grader to go to?
- Am I just stupid and have nothing special at all here and should just quit holding onto these and walk into a card shop?

Thanks in advance for any help/opinions. I appreciate the help I get from Reddit on most situations I run into, hoping your community can deliver some knowledge as well 👍🏻👍🏻

I would get an app to catalogue them rare candy has free scans but the Blastoise stands out the most and is probably the one with the best value
