To break or not to break?

That is my question. I have mint and proof sets dating from 1956-99. Should I break up the earlier sets and submit them and put the later sets into albums or just leave them as is? There are some nice Kennedy proofs in these sets that could DCAM. What do you think? My camera is poor at taking photos of coins. Until then, I will be saving for a better pixel camera.

    Most Kennedy proof won't sell for as much as the grading fees. Look at the key dates only and then maybe you can break even or maybe make money on them. Some of the other coins are worth more than the halves. Quarters are hot, and the dimes have a good following.
    Just my thoughts as I have proof and mint sets running back to the 50's also and been wondering the same thing. Still haven't committed to the submission game yet.
