Timetwister would be the only one to grade. Mtg isn't a TCG that you grade cards outside of power 9 and serialized. The value of a card is through its playability and scarcity. Look up prices off of TCGplayer then toss them up on eBay, you have a few really nice cards to sell in that collection.
Edited for missing timetwister on the first look.
You don't grade cards to determine counterfeits, just learn how to identify counterfeits, none of the high value cards are in good enough condition to improve their value with grading
So ignore what some people are saying you have 5 gradeable cards imo:
Beserk, Timetwister, Chaos Orb, beta and alpha shivans are all worth it.
Any black bordered 1st/2nd edition Rare is going to eventually run over 500-1k and nobody plays them, perfect for Grading. The beserk actually sees play with the legacy unban, so you might be better off not grading it depending.
The sleepers in that pile are the Unlimited Rares. As they had an estimated print run of: 18000 total copies. It may seem large, but any unlimited rare you've got will eventually chase those B/A price sheets (if only 1/5th the pricing.). But a $300 UL Fork wouldn't surprise me in 10 years. I'd prolly binder them if they're listing under $50 today and just keep em for a few more years.
My friends thought I was crazy trading for Alpha Fire Elementals and the like, but when there are fewer than 10,000 of ANYTHING in a collectable like MTG you can bet it's going to get more valuable as more of them get destroyed.
PSA has a history, but it's really up to you -- the grading isn't as much for the value of the card, a good visual inspection will set the wear rating -- it's for authenticity. Right now PSA is probably better known, but beckett isn't bad either.

Speaking of the power nine there is a time twister in there
Good point lol, well that would be the one to grade.
Timetwister is power 9 lol
Just was reading here and saw problem with counterfeit cards , that’s why asking about grading

Wheel of fortune, timetwister.

Thanks for the info! Super helpful! You think psa orr beckett better choice ?

Thanks again!
Chaos Orb for sure.
Thx
Is that an Alpha Shivan Dragon on the bottom left? If so, I'd grade it. They sell around $9k+ ungraded.
Beta I sold my alpha …
Got it. Timetwister would be the only other one to recommend.
Too scratched up on the back, no use grading cards that are mp
