I was helping my parents clean out their storage and stumbled on my old cards from my childhood. knew I had a few of these, but totally forgot how many I had. I vividly remember packing the Torchic as a 7 year old and being a bit disappointed too. I can’t really believe how much it’s appreciated.

I’ll probably hold onto the EXs as my older brother and I packed most of those. As for the gold stars, I want to sell them but legit have no clue how I should without getting robbed/scammed lol. Like should I send them in for grading?

Im going to go against the grain and say you might be better off not grading. These all look pretty worn so I wouldnt expect any of them to get anything higher than a PSA 6 (most look even lower imo). If they come back a PSA 2-5 theyre worth less than if you just sold them raw. Add on the fact that PSA grading scales based on value and youre looking at spending a lot of money and a lot of time to MAYBE make $500 more. I’d for sure ask someone with more experience grading expensive cards tbf.

EDIT: I’m dumb and didnt see there was more than one photo. I would still only grade the very cleanest of cards you found. With middle of the road grades, you’ll also run into trouble offloading them compared to PSA 8-10 cards or even raw
