My 1959 Topps PSA 8 quest is...over. Now what?

[Oil Can Dan]

I started collecting the 1959 Topps BB set in PSA 8 or better in 2004. I would lose focus for a few years here and there but for the most part I always had an eye out for things I needed. Now, 18 years later, I think I'm done. I have all but the Mantle although a few cards are high end SGC and even one GAI. I wish I had pulled the trigger on the Mantle long ago but I did not, and that card has skyrocketed into the five digit range which is too rich for my blood.

I have loved the set and loved the ride but now I think I want to sell it so that I can use the proceeds on something else (I'm thinking about the 1956 set in perhaps a lower grade).

If you were in my shoes how would you go about selling off this set? The Auction houses seem like a good fit if I want to sell it all as one, but it also seems like I'd get more if the cards were sold individually. I don't have time to sell them individually but I understand there are cosigners out there that I could use. And I just poked around the buy/sell pages here (which are awesome) but that also doesn't seem to work for 571 individual cards.

What would you do?

Lots of options:
1) Find a company like Vintage Breaks or Burls which might purchase to put the entire set in a break.
2) Send through COMC eBay Auctions the next time they run a special like they did over Dec/Jan. https://blog.comc.com/2022/01/01/no-...-january-31st/
You can even submit them cheaper now on this special.

3) You may want to figure out which cards are more than $50, $100, 200, etc and then choose a different path for each.
4) Greg Morris would probably auction all individually.
5) Fixed priced listings on COMC. You set the price and just wait for them to sell over time.
6) Create an account over at PSA/CU and advertise that you're selling to the other people in the 1959 Set Registry that need upgrades.

Greg Morris, Al Crisafulli at LOTG, REA, would be my suggestion. All of them have integrity and will treat your amazing accomplishment with care. Glws.
