Grade my childhood Charizard… or let it stay raw?

TCG

I pulled a shadowless base set Charizard as a kid — my first huge pull and the card that made me fall in love with collecting. It’s lived in a sleeve and One Touch ever since. No creases, just light edge wear and great centering.

I’ve sent plenty of cards off to PSA before, but this one feels different. I’m not even chasing a 10 — I just get nervous about it getting lost or something happening to it. Part of me likes that it’s still raw, still mine the way I remember it.


I brought this up on my podcast Card Friends the other day, and figured I’d ask here too:
What would you do — send it in or keep it raw?
