Collecting "How Much is This Card Worth?" / "Is This a Good Trade?"

Hello all!
I was looking to buy a Stormfront Charizard reprint and a Charizard delta species from EX Crystal Guardians (I think thats the set it's from) for about $33USD combined (plus about $4 for postage to Australia). The posting lists near mint - does that price sound about right? The charizard reprint seems to be about $35AUD on its own, so it seems like a good deal.
EDIT: So, if I do buy it, it'll probably just be the reprint card for around $21USD shipped (I'm just not sure about the delta species card. It's nice, but I'm not sure it's worth the $14.50). I know the reprint card is only worth around 15, but most places have around $20 shipping to where I live, so cheap shipping is a great deal.

I have 2 cards I'm wondering about. I have a Blastoise Holo from base set, and a Dark Gyarados Holo from Team Rocket. They are both completely mint (right out of the pack, then put in a sleeve), but neither of them are First Edition (no 1st symbol next to the length and weight bar thingy). Would it be worth it to get them PSA Graded, or would I just be wasting my money? (Btw, both these cards are in English).

Mega heracross-ex
I know they're too new to really know right now but a guesstimate would be noce

Likewise, I pulled a secret rare Mega Heracross today at a pre release in the UK and was wondering how much it would be worth.
The Seismitoad would probably be about £8-12 at the moment (sorry I don't know the dollar equivalent) for the half art and about £15 for the full art. Though the more play it sees the higher the price will go and therefore it might be an idea to hold onto the Seismitoad for a little while.

Thanks for some input I too am UK Glasgow.
I won my pre-release thanks to Seismitoad and sylveon
. Was my first ever event as well yay,
I don't see much potential for megas in general never mind heracross so think his value will drop. To £3-5. We shall see when this new mechanic spirit link comes though as it may majorly boost mega pokemon.

The Base Balastoise is worth roughly $50.00 if not a bit higher than that and the Gyrarados is worth roughly $20.00-$30.00 XD. That one could also be a bit higher. Don't waste your money on getting them check. After they are checked they may be worth even less.
i pulled full art seismitoad ex, seismitoad ex, and heracross ex at my prerelease, does anyone know how much they are worth

I don't think any cards would lose value if you get them graded, maybe if you grade C/UC and regular rares.
I those aren't close to worth so much, base blastoise is around $20 and i think the gyarados is like a normal holo (around $2 dollars or so)
EDIT: The blastoise could even be worth $10-20.

These aren't the values, not sure where you've been looking. He said not first edition, so they are unlimited.
Blastoise $10-$15
Gyarados $2-$5
Would cost more to get them graded, than the value of the cards.

The same as any other M Charizard X Ex. About $30. Centering matters more if you're thinking about grading the card.
