I Have a 1st edition base set Zapdos but it has a crease on it and a small bend on the corner. (some holo scratching,foiling on the edges and some scratching on the face that you can see silvering) Should i send it in? what do you think it could grade?

I don’t have a lot of experience guessing grades but it all depends on what do you want out of the grading. If its authentication then sure, but if its expecting a high grade all of the imperfections will disqualify it from the top grades since the card is in played conditions.
yeah ive graded cards before but not super experienced. im not expecting it to get a high grade i just was looking for someones opinion on what grade they think it might receive? and maybe some recommendations on if i should sell it as is or get it encapsulated and graded then try to sell it with whatever it receives.
Im not the most experienced grader, however it looks around a 5 to me.
5 is excellent with no creases
4 is the best you can hope with a crease.
then again it’s PSA and it depends on the grader at the end of the day.
3 or 4. Why would you want to grade it anyway? Sentimental?
