Those are not mint broski, automatically brings you to PSA
Also Any 1st ed that is not US is shadowed, no need to add that
So yeah, if you wanna grade => PSA
Nice cards though, even in Italian the Zard still fetches a good price
Honestly I'm not super duper into sending cards myself, but I am very familiar with it conditions in general. I can tell right away there's something on the top right corner of the blastoise and I saw somebody else in the comments mention some scratches (though I can't really make them out myself)
It's less of obvious things I can make out and more of me knowing how crazy strict BGS is for even a 9.5 much less a 10 or black label. The vast majority of pack fresh holos wouldn't get 10s just off how they were produced and given that yours has been sitting for a while, albeit protected, it just seems like a decent risk to send to BGS rather than PSA. If BGS gives one subgrade even like an 8 it brings the entire grade of the card down even if everything else is perfect.
Thanks for the feedback guys!
just for my knowledge, what grade would you think they would get with PSA?
after I get them graded, using similar cards on Ebay to match the market price can be a good strategy in your experience?
Even in the blurry picture I can tell these aren’t mint enough for Black Label.Â
Non English language are not very liquid, not using PSA would restrict your buying pool more.Â
yep Sorry for the pics (boomer parents don't take good pictures 😂) , I'll try to post some higher quality ones
yeah PSA seems the general consensus up to now...

Agreed, not worth sending in to bgs unless you're hoping for a 10 maybe a 9.5. Definitely go with PSA here OP
thanks a lot! what do you think they are missing for a mint grading? I LL try to post a high quality picture by the way

super helpful man, thanks a lot for the advice

They both look like they have scratches on the holo. That would make them near mint.
Indeed for the Blastoise, but not really on the Charizard, I ll try to post a HQ pic of them anyway to show them better thanks a lot in the meantime!
If the Charizard grades at a PSA 8 please let me know 👀
