Need Help getting started

Posted By: Andy

Been brownsing for a while, but I guess its time to get serious. You folks all seem to know your "stuff", and admittedly I am new to this. About 25 years ago we came into possession of a bag filled with various cards (baseball, birds, soldiers, warships...etc) Well, they have sat for years in a bank vault. Where do I Start? We have gone through the piles, and ended up with roughly:

t206 - 356 cards
t205 - 201 cards
e91 - 56 cards
e101 - 3 (2 of which are Honus Wagners)
d359 - 11
t201 - 3
t202 - 23
380-1 - 14
380 - 19

Plus Various other types of cards

I realize I should probably get these graded. I know of PSA, Beckett and SGC, but who is the best?

And folowing up on that, We will probably want to sell them--
Any advice on who to use to do this??
Would we do better with an auction or selling outright??
Should I keep them together or break them up??

And lastly, what do I do with the other 400 or so non-baseball cards??? ANy advice on where to find a market for them?

Thanks to everyone in advance. I look forward to your responses.
