Help with Turn of the Century Cards

My grandfather recently passed away. He has been an avid baseball card collector for the better part of his life and left a ton of cards to me (about 100-200). I dont collect and have no idea if these are worth anything. But I need some money for a down payment on a house and would be willing to sell these cards together or separately. I will take all offers and accept the best offer. Ive scanned two cards (shown below) that I inherited and that are representative of the types of cards in my fathers collection. Ive heard of wagner. I dont know who the other guy is, I only know that there are a lot of cards that look like it.

Nice try, but we already had our post on this (with the GAI/PSA merger). I like your name though.

I can't respond...

since I must be the guy's grandfather and therefore am already dead.

PS - That Wagner is not a baseball card, but is instead a place mat from a "throwback" Diner in Two Forks, Kentucky circa 1995.

Perhaps there are two Reccius Wagners - which might actually cause Hal to drop dead. (Im not saying anyone would actually want that, of course).

Has anyone told Julie that there's another Galvin out there just like hers?

I like the idea of finding graded cards in grandpa's collection. (Or was it dad's?) That's a nice touch that I don't think I have actually seen in any ebay auction.

for different reasons). That PSA/GAI really had me going though. I couldn't believe it, but I believed it.

PSA thing had me scrambling too!

I was excited about PSA slabbing all of my GAI cards in a cross-over!

its obviously Hal's Wagner and Julie's Galvin. I tried to pick fairly recognizable cards so that people would catch on fairly quickly. I probably could have pulled this off better with some less obvious cards. I hope no one (ie Hal and Julie) are upset that I hijacked their images. Until I know, maybe I will keep my secret id.

And yes, the grandfather - father references were intentional.
