What cards should I send in for grading?

Since joining the boards about a month ago I noticed the interest in PSA 9's & 10's for cards I consider to be relatively new.
I literally have ~150,000 raw cards from the four major sports between the years 1976 - 1992. ~75% of them are baseball cards. Today my collecting interests lie mostly in pre-wwII cards so I guess I never put much value on these "newer" cards.
I'm pretty good at estimating the grade PSA will give (none of us are perfect with the inconsistencies that exist) so I'm relatively confident in picking out the cards that have a decent shot to get a 9 or 10 (8 at worst). What I don't know are which sets are really worth grading? I really don't have the time to watch all of them on eBay to a clue. Besides....I'm not evaluating 150,000 cards so I'd like to prioritize my work by market demand.
Is the population report really a good guide for cards from these years? It seems to me that the populations might be low because nobody cares to grade them.

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

76's are super hot in 9 and 10 as well as 79's. You will do nicely selling and 9's and 10's up till about 85 in general.
If you are looking to sell them ungraded , I might be interested in 76-82.
