I went from zero graded cards to a couple thousand within 2 years (2013 to 2015) I still love the feel of baseball cards in my hands. But without grading I know you will leave alot more than the 20% buyers premium on the table. Belive me I know the counter arguments but you are only going to sell these once. And the numbers don't lie. For expensive cards ( up to you to decide the number ) you are going to get more and sell quicker with graded cards vs Raw.
Talk with some of the Auction houses they are not all the same. Heritage and REA definitely know what they are doing. And for some high value cards they remove all seller fees and talk about some buyer premium going to you. But strictly business and not as flexible as smaller joints. Al from love of game is honest and helpful and that goes a long way. ( full disclosure Al is listed in my instructions to sell most of my memorabilia). I have used most of the major Auction houses over the past 9 years. I wanted to get real life experiance dealing with each of them and if you send me a pm I will discuss my experience not my opinions my experience. It hurts letting it go more than I thought, good luck to you.
