I am looking at a smaller but still very large collection from the 50s through the mid 70s plus a bunch of 80s an 90s stuff. I would probably keep it in a "bubble" and try to liquidate it all at a mild profit, not really cross-pollinating it with my collection (I do expect to upgrade some singles in sets but nothing significant). It's just a lot of chopping for the wood you get out of it. He's trying to negotiate and I would probably be as interested in backing out as I am in negotiating. I haven't seen a single card worth more than $50 or so.
I do expect from the collection in the NYTimes there may be a Jordan rookie or two and probably some semi-desirable sets but I don't think it will make any difference in the hobby.
