SHOULD I OPEN ENTEI # 34 2001 MOVIE PROMO CARD TO GET IT GRADED ??

I HAVE AN ENTEI # 34 2001 MOVIE PROMO CARD IN THE ORIGINAL SEALED PACKAGE. THEY WERE HANDED OUT AT THE 2001 POKEMON MOVIE. IT IS UNCIRCULATED AND UNOPENED. HERE'S MY QUESTION : IF I WERE TO SELL THIS CARD, SHOULD I OPEN THE SEALED PACKAGE TO GET THE CARD GRADED ?? OR SELL THE CARD UNOPENED, UNGRADED ?? SINCE IT IS AN UNCIRCULATED CARD, I WOULD HOPE IT WOULD GRADE TO A 10. ANY THOUGHTS ?? THANKS FOR ADVICE.

    If you open it and get it graded, it can be difficult to find a buyer to pay the highest price it can go for. (currently 101.00 is the price for a graded mint 10)


    I would keep it sealed and tucked away for nostalgia.


    I believe there is a way to get sealed cards graded however, maybe look into that method so you don't have to open it?
