1971 Topps - Marked

I have a few top tier cards from 1971 Topps. These cards are 100% authentic. The one minor (and I say that word very loosely) issue is that they were not in good condition. As a kid, I had the brilliant idea to take a black magic marker and fill in the spots were there where creases to make them look better. Smart right? The irony is that some of them are somewhat obvious and others are actually pretty convincing.

Anyway, I see a decent amount of PSA cards that have "marked" "altered" or "trimmed" on the flip. Do you think it is worth sending in for grading? Is there a market for these cards (with full disclosure). How much would something like this go for?

I couldn't have been the only idiot kid to try this. Come on, fess up. Who else did this?
I'm building a 1968 and a 1970 Topps set. I have lots of 1970s and 1960s to offer in trade.

    Probably not worth the grading fees...I would just sell on ebay raw.

    I never marked on mine but plenty of them went in the bike spokes...
