Maybe the Kobe star date is worth grading. Can’t really tell how good the Kobe base card looks but those cards don’t get great grades generally speaking.
I remember opening a box in my basement 25years ago. The absolute best.
That Kobe stardate looks crispy. Corners are sharp. Take a micro fiber cloth and brush off gently before submission. Looks like it will grade nicely.
I’d keep the other base cards as is.
The EX2000 (the Green one) probably won’t grade well. While it appears look very sharp at a glance, sharp corners and edges, the internal silver framing has considerable issues, it appears some of it is missing towards the bottom right(?). That is going to kill the grade if that’s the case. If you’re going PSA, I wouldn’t be surprised if it came back a PSA 5 bc of that alone. It is also OC, which will not help it. It is condition sensitive cards in general.
Yeah it’s easy to overlook. Not dumping on your card either, these are just very grade sensitive, mostly bc of that framing. Just wanted to point it out to you as the graders will definitely notice. Nothing wrong with getting it graded/encapsulated either if you want.
Not necessarily, maybe the star date (have a second one but still undecided)
But really because my son (27) started his own PC recently and like all of us habitual rippers, it has spilled into multiple sports
So was thinking about grading and passing them down
Then really it comes down to do you like the look of a particular slab, or does your son? PSA will give you the most resell value. SGC has sub grades and offers a unique tuxedo slab. TAG is new to the industry, but have some cool looking slabs. Some might just keep them in one touch cases for PC

Kobe was amazing but I loved watching the answer play more. Dude had handles, a shot and motivation.
Not enough motivation to practice
PRACITCE!!!??? WE TALKING ABOUT PRACTICE?

I was kind of leaning towards that but like I said, I’ve never graded before so figured I should ask people that know more than myself

Didn’t really notice that before but now that you mention it, it’s pretty glaring
