[Questions] Looking for card expert help!

[Sir Cloake]

So I was told to get everything graded by PSA but there's no way in hell I can afford $25 to $50 a card right now, so here I am asking you all what I should send in. Some were originally mine, but the rough ones were all traded to me so there's nothing I can do about that I'm afraid, as a kid I kept my things in good shape. I have tried to find the values of them myself but the amount of confusion I got from it just made me even less motivated. Here's me reaching out for help, if you'd please. Kiddo on the way so time to get some munneh's for em.

Here are all my card I'd imagine are of value.





Hope to hear some good news!

What immediately stood out just skimming your photos as I scrolled down was the Shining Celebi. If the edges aren't rough on that, grade it.

Or just sell it as is if you need money.

Even if you don't do either of those, put it in a penny sleeve and a toploader ASAP.


There's probably others but that one is probably the priciest even if it's not graded.

A few that stood out to me that didn't seem to have much wear:

Shining Celebi (Neo Destiny #106): About $130 ungraded, $190-255 graded
Ho-Oh (Neo Revelation #7): About $70 ungraded, $100-150 graded
Light Arcanine (Neo Destiny #12): About $65 ungraded, $100-200 graded
Venusaur (Base Set #15): About $40 ungraded, $90-140 graded
Blastoise (Base Set #2): About $50 ungraded, $130-170 graded
Charizard (Base Set #4): About $200 ungraded, $330-500 graded

(Graded prices are assuming they grade 7-8)

For the rest, you can check eBay's recently sold listings and average out the prices from the past month or so to get an idea of what they're going for (make sure the cards are in similar condition to yours, the same edition, etc.).

Shining Gyarados would be worth even more than the Charizard if it were in better condition. Could still fetch over $60 though.
