Default Crossroads on selling my collection since childhood

I'm 78, in reasonable health, and have a collection of cards since collecting as a kid from 1953-1959.
I have 55 baseball cards that sat in a cigar box for decades when about 10 years ago I transferred them to penny sleeves and top loaders and put them in a baseball album.
Players range from 1951 Bob Feller Bowman, 53 Mantle, Ford, Campanella Topps, 54 Robinson, 55 Ted Williams, Koufax, 56 Mantle, Mays, 57 Mantle, Aaron, Clemente, Drysdale, 59 Mantle, Koufax, 61 Mantle, and Maris. I have a 62 Maris that I acquired in 62 because of his stats on the back. The rest are semi-stars not commons.
The condition is used by a boy to handle, trade and enjoy them as everyone did then. but upon inspection none have any creases. Doubt any would go above 3-4 in condition.
No one in my family is interested in them and wondering if I should go to the expense of grading or not. Grading was unheard of then and I still enjoy the feel of a raw card that these fingers touched way back then. I get nostalgic at times and these were an important time in my life.
Your thoughts please.
