Need some ideas for interesting or neat error/misprints or rare esoteric cards

I am putting together a twitch plays Pokémon themed binder, featuring a page for each team member and then pages depicting lore bits

I want to feature an error card or a really niche card you don't see often for each one

I have the no symbol error pidgeot

I will have the no symbol error venomoth

I haven't found any good errors of Omastar but I'm new (returning) to looking for the really niche stuff, maybe theres a weird one off card of him

There's the holo box error Zapdos, but there's also the WotC employee only Zapdos that seems fascinating except I can't tell how to identify that one from a regular fossil holo

Nidoking I am not sure about, I though about just picking up a well loved first edition

Lapras there's a couple holo errors but I don't know if the missing stars or the holo box is more interesting to one in the know

Any ideas for really out there or deep-cut cards are cool, you guys seem like the place to ask, appreciate it in advance!

Is grading worth it here? Extremely new to all this

I have a couple of cards from my childhood collection that I found recently. My mom passed away and I didn't realize she kept these. I have a vague idea of what the raw value of these are but I don't know if it's worth grading or if I would just lose money on it. Shining Charizard and Base Set Holo Rare Charizard

I can see a little bit of cardboard wrinkle on the shining, I imagine from temperature /humidity over 25 years, but I know nothing about the grading process or how to judge what a card will grade to. Any help is appreciated!

Sorted through my childhood collection and these were the headliners

Sadly wasn't the first edition, my brother had one when we were kids and we think it was stolen many years ago, many other vintage holos were found also but alas no firsts

What are realistic numbers I'm looking at here? I have no idea how to gauge the value of these. Tcg player thinks it's a lot but I don't know how to tell what is real value and what's just bs inflated numbers
