1955 1956 1957 Topps Baseball registry question regarding minimum grades

A coworker was given her father's collection from 1955-1957 Topps and a bunch of football. I only collect football so I am not versed on the baseball side so I am asking for some help here. She gave me a list of cards but I want to know what to grade for her.
Should I send in commons that will grade 6? She has a bunch in 6 condition (75%) and 20% in PSA 7 shape. She brought in about 50 cards and I took the percentages from these cards. I know I will send in the 7's but what about the 6's, would she make money on the commons?
I will send in the stars in of course but I don't want her to lose $$ and I don't want to miss the 1950's special.
To give you an idea of what is in the hell of a find here is a list of the big names, mind you these are from the list and I have not seen them yet.

Don't know the years but this is the list of Mantles
#487 three of them
#10 One
#564 one
#467 one
#95 one
#160 one
#461 one
Hank Aaron #488
Spahn #40
Ted williams #1 two of these
So as you can tell this girl has some nice stuff, plus she has a complete set of 1957 topps football that I would love to buy off of her but her husband wants to keep it. Anyway, thanks in advance for the help on the minimum grades. Once I see all of the cards Iwill throw on some scans and if the raw 6's aren't worth grading they will go on ebay. The sad part for all of us is she wants to give the good cards to her son who is 5 now. So I doubt we will see any of the big names but maybe a few commons may grade 8 or some SP's that can help some of you on your sets.
I will keep the boards posted.

I would just send in the low pop commons as most of the commons will probably not bring back investment money(grading fees + postage).There are quite a few collectors of mid grade sets but selling prices realized on those cards can be less than grading fees on most commons.
