I'm a really young man so I guess the biggest thing is patience to do what's right for the old man and myself.

As most have suggested I have already picked some nice yankees for my own keeping. One side question I have. Are the 50s 60s 70s worth grading too ? Thank you everyone I appreciate the time you guys put in to learn and be involved in collecting.
If you were an old guy with bad eyesight and arthritis that didn't know how to work a scanner, then I would suggest you consign to an auction house.

But since you're a young guy, I would research and sell these cards slowly, once you learn about the cards and what they're worth. It's not hard to identify and price them. I'd say it's one of the easiest hobbies in terms of learning curve. It'll be really fun as a side hobby, especially on those lazy weekends when you're bored. If you like baseball, this is the way to go. The money will trickle in slowly but you'll be getting more out of it.
