Hi Ryan, I didn’t know that about Brady’s t206s
Your cards are top notch / elite. Nothing against Brady (never met him) but from what I seen posted online & in his PSA set registries, anyone with common sense would buy from your collection (instead when possible).
This is just my opinion.

I was afraid it would be too much of the same thing/set/player in one auction to be absorbed. Two things I did not anticipate: (i) Brady Hill flooding the market with rare back T206s, and (ii) the market getting soft. I think both of these factors impacted the later items. But again, no clue what would have happened if they all went into one auction.
Last year, including the ML auction that just ended, I sold a bunch of stuff with a weighted average hold period of 3.8 year, which yielded a blended weighted annual return of 11%. Not bad, I will take that. My private sales, which represented 33% of all sales by value yielded the best returns, followed very closely by the stuff sold in the first ML auction (52%).
