Set break re: selling whole set together?

I think that VG gets pretty tough to make money on the commons - usually they come with a $.50ish per card handling fee - along with a 20-25% charge. In addition, they charge 3-3.50 for postage. VG commons for 54's will probably not average $3 apiece - therefore, people are going to be asked to pay more for postage than for the actual card. In addition, $.75 plus $.30-$.50 will go for the consignment charge. As a result, a $3 VG card sale will net you $1.75ish - a $2.00 VG common will net $1.00 ($2.00 - $.50 commission - $.50 handlng). With only 250 cards and several commons (I believe I counted 200 commons in the set), you need to do very, very well on Aaron, Kaline, Banks, Williams, Williams, Robinson, Mays to come out ahead of selling it as a set - as you probably won't do better than $200-$300 on the 200 commons.
