Pretty sure a CGC 10 Paras wont do too well in the market compared to a Blastoise from 151 There is a HIGH threshold to get into the grading business, as a lot of times even $600 could only amount to a few cards if theyre high quality, so youll have to either get high quantity (may be hard to move) or high quality (More money intensive) It does matter who your grading with
individual booster packs cannot be bought separately
Plus, it appears through the manufacturing process, all of these cards do come slightly curved, so dont panic, throw them in some sleeves, and youll be good to go
If your opponents need a bit of persuasion, you can always make an attack yourself and goad a creature you want to lure into combat
If Pokemon-151 is anything to go by, we should expect to see these cards remain strong in the set
