So I never really played pokemon more than a few hands but bought a bunch of cards back when the game came out and I was in Junior High. I'm 33 now and just got them out of my moms attic. They all have plastic sleeves on them and most look near perfect They just sat in the cardboard bulk boxes and that was in a sealed plastic container. Some slight bowing on a few but more or less I'm wondering if I should have them graded since I've seen the values be so high if they are nice.
I've never had any experience with card grading so was just thinking of sending in a few of the most valuable ones and seeing what grade I get and then comparing those to the remaining cards to see if I could expect the others to grade the same.
All my cards are either 1st editions or shadowless with the 99 twice in the bottom of the card. So about as early as you can get. I just spent a few hours counting them. A (5, 1*) means I have 5 shadowless and 1 first edition for example.
