Should I grade these cards if I'm going to flip them?

lightningboy

i bought a large collection of baseball cards mainly to get some key tobacco cards (Cobb, Young, Mathewson etc). But it also included many Hall of Famers from the early 60's like Koufax, Clemente, Mays, Gibson, Banks and Mccovery & Yaz rookies etc. These cards are all in about PSA 4 grade, Aside from the tobacco cards, is it worth my money getting 4's with an occasional 5 on the other cards? Or should I just sell them quickly raw? I have about 50 to 75 of these cards.

I got a pretty good deal on the cards so it's not like I even need 6's to make some money. Any input or experiences are greatly appreciated. Tom

I'd just sell em raw and move on to the next purchase personally

Related question - In the group is a T3 Cy Young. It has a decent crease running a couple of inches in from the border, although nowhere near his body/face. the back also has decent paper loss. Not sure if it would get a 1, it does present well otherwise. But with the $75 + shipping to and from and insurance, its going to run over $100 to get graded. Will the case whether PSA 1 or A add $100 or more to my realized sale?

Depends what you plan to do with it and how much you have into it? I personally would grade it
so if need be down the road it's much easier to sell. Even authentic it's probably a 2000 dollar card.

The last PSA 1 T3 Young that sold on Ebay had a BIN of $850. With the paper loss your's has I don't know if it would bring that much.
