1963 Post Set Pickup and Questions

I received my 1963 Post set from Mastro yesterday and let me tell you, I have no idea what I bought except that it is cool and I am very happy with the set. What perplexes me are the printing variations from the different cereal boxes. Can anyone please tell me which print type go with wich cereals? Are some more rare than others? Does anyone care?

The set is ExMt to NrMt as far as I can tell. Two cards were graded, Mantle and Gibson, and both are PSA 7. My plan is to send in about a dozen of the higher dollar cards and see what I get. Almost every card has four black edges, but a few are autographed and some have slight staining. Is it worth, from a purely $$$ standpoint, to get the commons graded if they are gonna be 5-7s? I originally bought the set to break (that's still the plan), but I am afraid I will grow too fond of it and start another registry project.

Anyway, any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Below are a few scans. Thanks!

John

    The two references that I have are the Krause 2007 book and the SMR online. The Krause lists some printing variations, but not cereal box variations.

    Thanks for the comments. Anyone else?
