What to do after you pull a god pack
Film the opening in one unbroken take, sleeve and top-load every card immediately, submit the two or three highest-value parallels for grading, and sell the remainder as a documented lot — a filmed pull with grading receipts routinely doubles what the same cards fetch sold loose and unverified.

Document everything
One continuous video from sealed wrapper to sleeved cards is the single biggest value multiplier. Buyers pay a premium for provenance they can watch.
Handle and store
Penny sleeve then top-loader or a semi-rigid holder, kept away from light and humidity. Textured SSP surfaces scratch against each other in a stack — never sleeve two cards face to face.
Grade selectively
Grading fees and turnaround only pay for themselves on OSR, SSP and SSS printings, or on an SR of a top-demand Pal. Check the PSA population report first: a card with a large gem-mint population gains little from a grade.
Time your sale
Prices spike in the two weeks after a set release and again around major tournament weekends, then settle. If you can hold, selling into a tournament news cycle beats selling into a restock.
Sell smart
Split the lot: grade the chase cards, auction the mid-tier parallels individually, and bundle the rest. Bundling a god pack whole hides the value of the strongest single in the average.
