I broke it up card by card last year on ebay and netted, after fees, $42,000 and kept the Mantle, Aparicio and Aaron for myself. I think some sets like 68, 70, 73 Topps baseball etc. would be better to sell as a whole if they were complete PSA 8 sets. The population on some of the cards are so high in PSA 8 they will go nowhere and the set has its value without the nuisance and shipping costs of a card by card break. It can depend on the set.

That's pretty impressive. Did you list them on eBay yourself or consign?
