I also think you may do great with a shop like Sterling or Birmingham (local, PA), which has strong followings with vintage people and who may run an entire auction for your set.

Regardless of where you go, with an offering like that, you should pay no consignor fee and you should be able to get 25% of the Buyers premium.
If I was selling as a set I would agree, but doing it as a break (which we would absolutely do) means a lot of lower dollar cards with a lot more work. The reason we do it is to maximize the return for the seller, and it's a related idea to one posted above. Would you rather have 110% of $40,000 for the set or 90% of $60,000 for the break up?

Thanks for singling me out though Ryan, it's appreciated!
