Got grades back, looking for some advice!

Got grades back, looking for some advice!

I truly have no clue what I'm doing with PSA or selling cards in general. I just rediscovered my pokemon binders from elementary school in my attic like 6 months ago. I submitted back in February, and since then I've done more research and it seems like maybe I shouldn't have bothered! But I just got my grades back and I'm hoping someone can help answer some of these questions:

- Why did the celebi get a 7 and the mew get a 2? They look so similar to me! Pics below, sorry I don't have better ones, they're still w PSA. All good if its too hard to tell without better pics

- Is resubmitting pointless? I was hoping for at least a 6/7 for the mew.

- PSA says I need to pay more for these because their value exceeds the limit I selected. This truly makes zero sense to me. Why does it matter to them what the card is worth?

- Should I sell the 2 as ungraded? I know a guy that sells cards on like TikTok or something, should I just give it to him or sell through the vault?

EDIT: Added PSA scans! Now seeing the scratch/dark spot on the back of the 2

celebi front (psa 7)

celebi back (psa 7)

mew front (psa 2)

mew back (psa 2)

Any input is appreciated! Apologies for my ignorance
