I know I'm operating on a different level than many here. Some people spend in a single auction what my entire collection is worth.
I have no 5-figure cards, a slew of 4-figure cards, and a lot of 3-figure cards.
I've kept it simple for my wife (or other survivors) if I check out early.
I have a list of "auction house" cards and which ones to contact. I have a list of "send this stuff off to an Ebay cosigner" cards and which ones to contact. The rest of the stuff isn't worth worrying about and should be given away or sold for whatever they can get whether it's a good deal or not.
Those 3 tiers (especially the first 2) are rather trouble-free for survivors that aren't part of the hobby and easy to navagate. It's only 3 auction houses and 2 main Ebay cosigners that do good volume and can handle a $500 card as easily as a $15 card.
From where I'm at, maximizing the money return isn't the point, it's getting a fair value for the least amount of trouble for the person dealing some dead person's valuable junk.
