It makes sense to pay for professional card grading when your cards are in near mint-mint condition, with only very minor imperfections and you want to maximize the long term resale value of your card
Remember that rarity is just one factor determining a card's value
If this does get tossed in as a staple in Path to the Peak-adjacent decks, the pull rate might not matter as much and it could still be worth something, as long as it remains competitively viable (especially at a budget level to start.) Mewtwo V/VSTAR/Gold Mewtwo cards are always worth grabbing, and even if these variants arent the best, these will be great binder fillerespecially the one that uses art calling back to some of the original promotional videos where Mewtwo raids were hosted in big cites
This list counts rare cards, some of the best-looking cards in the expansion (as subjective as that may be), and also the strongest cards from a competitive standpoint
