For the 1957's I think it is a good thing you are getting them all graded. Individual cards (Clifton, Gallatin, Fleming, Schnittker and a couple of other low pops) will sell for a premium in PSA holders but for a full set it should not matter. If you are selling this set completely graded I would go the auction house route.

1961 Fleer is worth getting graded.
1969 Topps is worth getting graded especially the HOF rookies if they are 8's and the checklist card (Psa might get more of a premium)
1970-1981 Topps
I would grade the following HOF rookies
Maravich, Erving, Archibald (if 8 or better), Gervin, Walton, Malone, Bird/Magic
1986 Fleer
I would grade the entire set with PSA, SGC or BGS if you think they are all 9 or better. 8's will not get your money back.


The high grade complete sets (61 fleer, 69 Topps, 86 Fleer if a lot of 10's could go to a major auction house)

The other sets would do fine on ebay or a smaller auction house.
