Every situation is unique. No way would I break a mid grade set. Selling as a whole would be more profitable and less of a headache. A high grade set would need to be broken to maximize profit. That being said, I’ve found myself in positions to where I’ve had to sell high grade sets to get cash flowing to purchase more sets.
Example I had where I bought a large collection that included a Baseball set run from 53-71. Some really nice raw cards that would grade well if submitted. I didn't have the time to submit and needed to move the 53-55 and use that cash to pay for the rest of the collection. Long story short, the individual returned the 53-55 sets to me and I ended up selling them through an auction house where I doubled what I was going to sell them for privately. Bottom line is that every situation is unique to that individual.
