No, here is the frustrating problem. The very last sentence in your opening post specifically said to, and I quote, "Feel free to ask any questions that you may think of.". So I took you at YOUR word and asked why you'd waste the money having any of them graded.

I, and I'm guessing some others who also responded, thought yours was a serious post and question and that you were actually asking for serious advice in return. And instead of answering my question, which you had specifically invited me to ask, you really never answered and instead accused me of overthinking, then said to assume the cards could be graded for free (which made no sense to me in the context and way you phrased it), and then directly asked ME which 10 of those cards I would get graded for my personal collection, to which I honestly answered......none!

I wasn't trying to talk you out of anything, just give you some good, solid advice for you to do with and act upon as you pleased and saw fit. And since pretty much everyone else in this thread didn't immediately just pick out and name 10 of those cards to get graded, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the majority of those responding were thinking like me and assumed you actually wanted some serious advice on what to do also.

It would have been nice, and a whole lot less frustrating, if you had made it clearer in your opening post that you really weren't looking for actual helpful and honest advice. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
