1991 Bowman Thome- huge quantity... grade or not?

I bought 'bricks' of the 91 Bowman Thome back in the late 90's. I graded hundreds 10-15 years ago I guess but still have over 1,000 of them and they are all mint. I am not a big grader so trying to decide if I should go through the process and submit a large number of them or sell them off raw. Just getting thoughts from others

    Recent sales: 10 mint raw $19, PSA 10 $54-75, PSA 9 will get your grading fees back + a couple bucks

    I would be selective, but submit any you think are lock 9s with a shot at a 10. Any way you do it, it's going to take a long time to unload that many and maximize profit.

    It would be worth it to grade the best ones. 10s now go for $40-50 usually. I wouldn't be surprised if they went up to around $75 consistently after his induction, possibly next year. Like said above, grade the best, 9s will get the fees back and any 10s will be pure profit.

    I would try for a BGS 10. Just my opinion.

    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    Just curious, what did you wind up paying per card on average when you bought them? Hopefully you are way ahead...
    I say post scans of them all so we can help pick winners ;)

    Too long ago to remember but I want to think it was around $2 per card at the most
