Hi, (I don't think this is breaking rules so sorry if it is)

(Title)

Haven't touched a pokemon card in like 10 years, but decided to buy a stellar crown booster today just for funsies and I pulled what looks to be the most valuable card in the set. I literally have 0 clue about how the collecting side of pokemon goes (just TCG live and the games). So I am here to ask you guys, what should I do with the card.

I personally am not too attracted to the card itself, so I don't plan on holding on to it (unless perhaps there was a high likelihood it goes up in value in the future.)

So from step 1: What do I need to do to keep it pristine? Should I get a slab or whatever they called?

Should I sell ASAP or hold onto for a while? (or maybe even not worth it? I noticed the price has been dropping) Sell online on what website or just find somewhere local? Would really appreciate the help for someone clueless like me.

Thanks

Still searching through my cards and found some interesting promos

From what I can remember the cards were given out during actual events at my local kd’s toys. Though I had one mew when I realized I had a stack of them in my binder slot

Do you think it's worth sorting by pokedex number since the games do that? Or just go by set so it's easier to keep track on collectr, organizing since you wont have to go back and forth searching between sets of what you have, and when buying/looking for cards to avoid buying dupes by accident? (Collectr doesn't seem to have a sort by pokedex number sadly)

Have enough binders to get 2 of the best cards of each pokemon plus some, so each binder could be organized by reigon.

If I do it by set, binders could be filled one by one pretty fast since they"ll usually be set of course, versus a couple cards in kanto binder, a couple cards in johto binder, some in paldea binder.

If I do it by pokedex number, it would look like a traditional living dex, seeing the different type of illustration cards per same pokemon side by side.

The gold ex i pulled a couple months back, but the other two, pulled two days in a row

I’ve been slowly adding to my collection of 1st Edition Gym Hero and Gym Challenge and I wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts are on value long term? Can we expect prices to rise for these sets? Should I keep most of my cards graded with BGS? Or resub with PSA? Most are 9/9.5 with BGS.

Stupid question time, I’m assuming this card is one of two? As in two finalists. I’ve seen these with winner and runner up I’m sure.

Missing a raw Zard on this one…

Been a difficult few months. Decided to show off these Zards. Graded 8 set.

A psa slab protector that is not really expensive but good enough to keep my slab safe.

What title says basically, please let me know if you have any idea of the value of this.
