I know I have the right to grade cards in any order I want but is there any generally recommended sequence? any unspoken rules?
In my scenario, I have an 11 card submission from terastal festival. I want to grade both eevee SARs and the 8 eeveelutions as well as umbreon master ball.
I’ve already decided to grade umbreon last since if for some reason i get a psa9 I can still have sunbreon > masterball sequental
do i grade both eevees one after another? do i grade the cards in the order that they are found in set by number?
I just want a suggestion. It’s taken a bit to find a complete set of near perfect cards and I dont want to mess up the grading order
Personally, I only bother submitting sequentially if the cards I am grading are numbered sequentially in the set and/or have something in common with each other & I’m expecting them to get the same grade.
Another example would be base set 1st edition Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard with sequential certs and the same grade etc.
A common misconception is that having sequential certs increases the value of your collection. While it certainly won’t hurt the value, in most cases selling the cards individually will net a higher return than selling as a set. Just something to keep in mind if you ever plan to sell.
