Such a tough call as to what is better for the seller in my opinion. Could convince me either way. A third option is a hybrid. Big cards solo, and then a bunch of groups of the rest.

I don't really know, but my thought is that this type of auction discourages bidding on the individual lots to some extent, since people know there's a chance they won't win what they're bidding on even with the high bid and therefore allocate resources elsewhere? But if you're seriously interested in exploring it talk to Drent and see what his experience has been.

Anyone have any rough guess - or accurate estimate - as to how often the full set wins?

Wasn't there a 1914 CJ set auctioned this way a few years ago, with 144 individual lots and another lot for the entire set, and the set turned out to be higher?
