Personally, I believe you're making a big mistake busting out graded stars. Those cards are far more valuable graded than ungraded.
The sets I have collected, the major stars are graded and the commons are ungraded but in near mint condition. This may be an option to consider.
You can always work on the common cards, so I would be inclined to get the key cards and stars out of he way first. As for a 55 Clemente, that may be one you get a much lesser grade and work on a better one down the road.
The stars and key cards are going to appreciate much faster than the commons will.
I'm sure others have their own opinions, and will chime in.
Just my two cents worth though.
