Any input on what would be worth grading would be appreciated!

I posted a small sample of my collection yesterday, but I have since found more and am looking for a better idea of what I have. Any input that you can offer on which cards could possibly have value and which ones may be worth being graded would be appreciated. There are roughly 3,000 total cards and 300 Post cereal cards.

I would grade the two Mantles (60T & Post) and both 64 Rose cards, primarily to show they're authentic, throw in the 60T Clemente if desired. I won't even begin to guess at anything on the first pic with half the cards borders chopped off. I don't see anything in the second pic that gets better than an Auth grade, and the last two pics all appear to be in the 2-5 range where you'd net more selling them raw.
Ya, I agree. I would also throw in that 64 Drysdale, the Pride of the NL, and perhabes that Famous Slugger Ruth card. Maybe a few more that are sharp and centered. I think I see a lot of 4 & 5 type grades, but even that 60 Mantle in a 3 or 4 will bring $300+. So it really depends on what you plan on doing with your collection. Most if not all of those Posts are gonna be tuff to pull any grade. I am a Kelloggs and Post/Jello collector and I love seeing all those raw relics. Last 1, the 63 HR Leaders looks centered and maybe in the 5-6 range. If so, I'd submit it as well. Good luck.

Anything that Catches My Attention
These cards all have value. It's up to you to decide how much of a return on them you have to get to make it worth your while. It will cost about $10.00 per card plus shipping to get a bulk submission graded. What dollar amount do you need per card?
As mentioned above, some cards don't have to be in great condition, simply having them graded assures potential buyers the cards are not altered.
Some of those Post cereal cards could be worth grading. It looks like some of them have black border lines all the way around? That Clemente looks VERY interesting!
I picked up a bunch that had borders showing on all 4 sides, cut them nicely with an xacto knife and metal ruler, and submitted. They can be quite valuable even in a lower grade and even the commons.
The 1962 AL Home Run Leader card can be worth something too, but I can't tell how nice the corners are. Looks pretty well centered.
The 1963 "Power Plus" card recently sold for $70.00 in PSA 5, the 1961 Yaz card can fetch $50.00 in a PSA 4.
I would do some research on ebay under sold items. I am willing to bet you can find 100 cards out of the 3000 that are worth sending in, maybe more.
Personally, I would have a BLAST going through these and sending the best in for grading.
Post a few scans of individual cards and members here will give you some great advice.
If I haven't said so, welcome to the boards!
Thanks everyone, this has been information overload the past few days and I really appreciate the help!
Can I ask what is up with the the two rookies cards with the same players on them, one says 1962 and one sys 1963??
I didn’t even notice that. I have no idea. Hopefully someone here can shed some light on that. > @Tigersfan21 said:
The population report lists 2 number #29 cards. One says 1962 Rookie Stars and one says 1963 Rookie Stars, with the 1963 card a little harder to find.
