Opinion on grading - 1955 commons

I have a bunch of commons from 1955. Some are in decent shape. Others, not as good.

There are a few that have sharp corners, nice centering, edges look decent, but there is a nice crease somewhere on the front of the card.

My question is, would it make sense to get these graded? From what I am reading, the best they would come back at would be 4-5, and that would be AT BEST.

Normally I would include a scan, but my camera will not pick up on the creases.

Thoughts?
I'm building a 1968 and a 1970 Topps set. I have lots of 1970s and 1960s to offer in trade.

    1955 commons in PSA 4-5 range? Save your money...

    After paying for grading and shipping, you'll be underwater. Sell them raw.

    What would you think the minimum grade (that I think they would come back as) would be worth it to send them in.

    Not my set, but a quick glance at VCP tells me 5's are about a break-even.

    I would grade commons that had a decent shot at a 7. Lower than that is probably not worth it.

    You would need at least 6's to be okay. So, you'd really shoot for 7's and your misses would be 6's. If they are only 4 or 5, I wouldn't submit them.

    Depends on the card #, high numbers I'd grade 5's.
    Good for you.

    I agree with WinPitcher.
