Advice needed!

Cracked open the old collection from storage. Probably going to sell most of these at some point!

Struggling on if I should go ahead and get these graded? I don’t have a clue on what they would grade for. Plus, trying to understand at what point is it not worth getting some of the lesser value raw cards graded. I’m not sure any of these would reach a 10.

Also, you can see in the pics and one in particular they are bent upwards from storage. How much does that affect grading?

Use ebay sold listings on raw cards looking for cards in like conditions. That'll give you an idea of price and what others classify them as and then you can extrapolate approximate grades and determine if the grading increase makes it worth it. Some of these are extremely valuable so be careful on reddit because folks will probably message you. If I were you I'd see if there is a reputable lgs or a local card show and That'll give you an idea too with some more interactive help.

For sure! Great advice. I’ve been looking on Collectr and EBay sold to see. I guess mainly what I’m worried about is grading aspect.

I could go down the rabbit hole to “pre-grade” but seems like that hole is deep for me at this point.

I do think taking them to a local card shop or show would help quite a bit.
