Nearly finished with collecting the T3 set over the last 9 months, so I'll add my 2 c to Jay's observation.

First of all, grades on T3's are all over the map, much more so than any set I've collected previously. The TPGs are all wildly inconsistent on the set IMHO, in terms of condition correlating to grade. But I think I know what Jay is shooting for, condition that for most cards would be considered VG, incl. no creases, very minimal staining and wrinkles, decent corners and edges, overall good eye appeal. I would put this 'VG' set a little higher, in the $65k - $75k range. Getting the Cobb alone in VG condition will be over $10k.

Since Jay brought it up, many of the cards in the Leland's set are not in very good condition, so I'd agree that their $150k estimate is wildly optimistic.
