Hey all, as the title suggests, I'm looking for some advice on if these are worth having graded.

I was a pretty organized kid and kept most of my old cards (base set, jungle and fossil) in the original 2x2 red Pokemon/Pikachu binder all these years and I *Think* theyve stood up well... but I know nothing about card grading and how critical they are and what potential gradings Im looking at here.

Aside from a single line in the Blastoise holo, the faces of them are really clean, the only imperfections I can see (which truthfully isn't much at the moment LOL, mostly blind in my right eye and surgery in 2 weeks to hopefully fix. TAKE CARE OF YOUR DIABETES KIDS!) is edge wear...

The Mewtwo has a bit of the holo visible just on the edges of the face, where the yellow borders worn. The rest seems to be the odd *ding* in an edge here or there on the backs with very small amounts of white showing... how much is that going to degrade them?

Aside from the holos, I also have a bunch of base set/jungle/fossil cards. I included some examples with Squirtle, Wartortle, Charmander and Charmeleon and these reflect the condition of 95% of my cards (final image is a full list). From what Ive looked up, most commons might not be worth grading unless Im sure theyre mint 10s. Do any of these look to have grading potential? Even if theyre not grading potential, am I right in feeling like theyre "lightly played" and some bordering on "near mint" conditions? (

TL;DR - Want to know if grading these base set holos are worth it, to maximize the return on selling my childhood, to fund my future? (Will be grading through PSA, as Im in Canada and ~1hr from the physical dropoff location in Mississauga, so no concerns will delivery cost/loss.)
