Need help with an odd lot to sell

OK, so I'm in a weird predicament. I collected Jeff Hornacek basketball cards for 20+ years. It's time for them to go. I have too many cards with nominal value to just toss them away, but I'm not really inclined to list a bunch individually. I've got 400 or so different ones, and another 400 or so (I've not counted them) duplicates. Several are 1/5, 1/10, 1/100, that sort of thing. Lots of oddball too. All but one are raw in pages. I know collectors on this forum are more high end than this usually, but what are some options for different ways to sell these cards? Is Ebay my only/best choice? If so, how should I group them/list them? I'd appreciate any/all advice. Thanks in advance!

Might check with this guy: https://www.tradingcarddb.com/Profile.cfm/flasah He's the only collector on that site who has Jeff Hornacek as a 'Favorite'.
Also maybe try the basketball section over on Blowout cards too. They have a Hornacek collector here and I know there are a few Jazz collectors also: https://www.blowoutforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082937
I don't know if that is the same guy in LarkinCollector's link though.

If neither of those options above pan out, and you end up trying to move them through eBay, then you should list them at a price about 20% above the lowest you would take for the whole lot, and add the option to accept best offers.
So for example - If you would realistically take $425 for the lot, then list them on eBay for $500 and add the best offer option. You can even set an option to automatically reject any offer under an amount you wont accept (let's say $400 (for this scenario) so you don't have to deal with lowball offers.
If you part them out on ebay, you could make smaller lots. For example, all auto's in one lot, all gu in another, all base in a lot, mid-serial #'d in a lot. Then maybe the rarer, low #'d stuff, sell individually.
Thanks guys for all the advice!
