Grading Sealed Single Card Promo? Should I open the pack?

Hey E4,
I’m currently looking at buying some sealed silver Victory Medals. Should I open the transparent packaging and send the cards to PSA on their own, or should I have the cards graded in package?
I also intend to grade a sealed English Build-A-Bear Workshop Eevee, although I doubt it would look very appealing in a PSA holder due to the absurd height of the promo packaging.

As I’m grading these cards for my personal collection, the eye appeal in the holder is the top deciding factor for me. Has anyone had experience grading sealed promo cards or could share a video/photo of how they look encapsulated?

If you send them in the wrapper, they will be grading the wrapper, not the card.

I’d strongly suggest removing the cards from the wrapper, the PSA case really allows holo patterns to shine and the eye appeal is much greater in a PSA case than in anything like the sealed packaging or even a sleeve.

Thanks I had this question too! :blush:
