Much in my opinion depends on your intent. Is it to keep the collection and submit cards because you would enjoy owning as many as possible in high grade, or is it to sell in the near term and maximize the value? I would advise against selling ungraded given how nice some appear to be, for what it's worth.

If your intent is to sell, either yourself or via consignment, it is almost certainly going to be worth grading many of those cards. You might also consider working with an auction house or (not quite an oxymoron lol) reputable dealer, I'm not going to name names here but would be happy to make suggestions.

If your intent is to own, then I concur with the suggestions to start with a select handful of major HOFers and maybe some centered high number commons to get a feel for how grading works.
