I have a few that I really need to get graded if I want to sell them, like Clemente's rookie and first few years, Ryan rookie, etc, lots of 60's stuff.
I don't think grading was really around when I was in last. I was reading up about it today, you can do 100 cards for $6 a piece. So really I could only see the purpose of rating for $50+ cards, though if you look on ebay you'll see $5 cards graded, meaning the grade is worth more than the card.
