To Grade Or Not To Grade?

Should I grade these issues? Is it worth it?
I'm a newish collector. I collected as a kid and lost all of those in move after move, country to country, but I started collecting again in 2013 and stopped in 2017 for a total of 800 issues. I bought them bagged and boarded and kept them in long boxes, reading them very carefully when I did read them. I stopped in 2017 after my son was born because we needed the money for other things. Because of Covid, we're broke again and I need to sell my collection.
I went through and created a spreadsheet of everything I have and what CPG says they're worth. Most of these are worth what I paid for them. All are raw and at least 9/4, I bet, as I was very careful with them. However, I have a few that stood out, and I was wondering if I should get them graded, if it is worth it for these issues, and if so, who do you suggest I get them graded by? Thank you in advance. I appreciate the help. I wish I didn't have to let any of them go.
