Good info so far.
I would highly recommend grading just for the fact to protect the resale value and protect the card. Raw cards on ebay sell for much less on average, mainly because you take a risk on the fact that you have no idea from a scan if they have been altered, trimmed or lower condition. I would grade any card valued over $25 imo. On cost I usually save up till I get around 100 and work a deal out with SGC depending on the cards for usually around $6-7 a card. By sending this many in at one time my postage usually comes out to less than $2 a card total shipping there and back.
I agree that having them graded will make it easier to sell if you pass, I am in the same boat with no survivors and have made it easy in my will to send them with instruction to an auction house to sell since most will be graded and I have a full list from VCP with attached pricing so they know what to expect.
