I was suggesting that they look at the cards or have someone who knows a little bit (not a grading company)look at them, pick out a few of the nicest ones first, have those graded, and then auction them off. The pop reports wouldn't show how many were out there because they wouldn't have them all graded at once. This of course depends on someone other than a grader at PSA or SGC being able to look at the cards initially and be able to tell generally which ones are in the nicest shape so that they can be sent in for grading :-)
