Perez Steele Postcards Autographs - Should I have PSA put the sticker on the card?

I just picked up a 7 awesome Perez Steele Autographed Postcards:

Ted Williams
Cool Papa Bell
Bill Dickey
Willie McCovey
Harmon Killebrew
Whitey Ford
Lefty Gomez

Two questions:

1) I plan to re-sell them, is it worth it to have all of them PSA/DNA certified? I ran a check on some completed auctions and the difference between certified and non-certified on some of the cards is not worth the $20 fee. However I do plan to have the Ted Williams certified.

2) Where should I instruct PSA to place the sticker? On the back?

A better choice is to have it slabbed...that way, the postcard isn't touched, which would decrease it's value.

The only way to get the sticker is to pay the full $50 fee including; sticker,DNA, and notarized COA.

I would pay the $20 and get Williams, Bell, Dickey and Gomez slabbed. Living Hall of Famers aren't worth the $$$.

I read the fee schedule for authentication and it's not clear to me -

"** Autographed cards dated pre-1998 and/or those not directly from manufacturer must be sent through the Autographed Card Grading and Authentication Service (fee may vary on card value, see listed restrictions and requirements)."

The Perez Steele Postcard autographs were issued before 1998. Does this mean I have to send it to PSA/DNA first before I can have it slabbed?

For $20, you send it to PSA/DNA and the fee includes autograph authentication, grading (if you want it) and slabbing. Pretty nice deal.
