Just Completed a 1915 Cracker Jack Set

[Madi$on18joshua]

I picked up the Cobb from REA which was the last card I needed to complete the set. I ended up paying $6,700 w/ tax & shipping for a PSA 1. I didn't have the euphoric feeling I had imagined after getting confirmation I was the high bidder. I'm guessing once it is finally delivered and I have it in hand I will feel differently or its just the chase is more fun than the finish line :-)

I have three questions for you all knowledgeable gentlemen:

1. I do plan on selling, I am just not sure when, do I get the 42 non PSA graded in a PSA slab? When it comes time to sell will those 42 being in a PSA holder make a notable difference in the price?

2. If I go the auction route, do I have them sell as set or break it up? I know Mile High, I believe will auction both ways and which ever one has the highest value is how it closes.

3. If I do go the auction route, should I even mess around with getting them graded as aren't the auction houses able to get cards graded much faster at a better cost?

Thank you in advance for the feedback.
