Maximizing the value of a set for resale is something i'm still figuring out as a relative newbie. How you group together the cards and organize the auction is key to getting the most out of the collection. As a test, I picked up a small set of victorian baseball die cuts, ungraded. I think the route I will take is to grade the entire set, post it on a registry, and use that as a selling point. In this situation, however, the number of Baguer cards might make it cost prohibitive to grade. Since you are attempting to "flip" this set, I suggest putting together a good presentation for it and get them some good exposure. Have you considered cosigning it to a major auction house? The thing I love about the auction houses like REA is the great descriptions they have of each item, supported by informational data that really helps justify the value of the collectible. Have you researched previous action results? History of the set, etc?
I just think that if you list it for 2x cost BIN OBO on eBay that you might be waiting a while for a good offer. At some point though, you have to trust the market and auction it off old school style.
