Default Help. 2018 Topps Update grading

I'm a grading newb. Back in 2018, I was chasing all the Ohtanis and bought a case of 2018 Topps Series 2 and Update. Well now I have all these Acunas, Sotos, Biebers and Gleybers that I feel that I should get graded since its 2020 and that seems to be the thing to do.

Any thoughts on the best way to do this? Group sub through Jewcer? Some Jewcer and some to PSA via economy? This whole DV stuff is so weird to me especially with constantly fluctuating values and being a newb.

Thanks for any thoughts/comments!

If you've never sent any cards in for grading before, then you shouldn't rush into it and send a bunch off. Look through the cards you think should be graded, carefully inspect both sides, and choose a handful of the best to send through Jewcer. See how you do on those, and move forward accordingly. If you get good grades, then you're inspecting them well and doing a good job, and can send some more off. If you get poor grades, then you need to do a better job inspecting them.

Also, read the Grading 101 thread at the top of this forum if you haven't already done so. It will give you some good pointers.

Thanks for the insight. It should be a fun experiment!
