Where do you think the reserve is set?

Noticed this auction for an entire 1956 Topps PSA 8+ set. Currently tied for second finest. Quite an accomplishment. The seller has 87K invested, the SMR is 37K plus the cost of the 9's and 10's. There are some stars in 9, Yogi, Feller, etc....

1956 Set

My question is, where do you think the reserve is set? And if this set was listed without a reserve, what do you think the final price will be? And many have stated here before that it is better to break the set apart and sell it individually, to get the most profit. Do you think if this goes to the auction house(as stated) it will be broken up or sold as a unit?

It's a given I won't be the winner, but I would love to win the powerball and take it off his hands! Congrats on a beautiful set.

I think this is the third time he's attempted to sell it. But I don't recall what the highest previous bid was. I think it's probably around $70k

This is the 3rd listing for this set and the price only hit around 55K last time.My best guess would be 65K on the reserve.The guy that is selling this set is a real nice guy and he can't really make up his mind whether he really wants to sell or not.He just recently won two PSA 9's on E-Bay,so he is still actively upgrading his set.

When I see the Pirates Team card from 1956 selling for over $2,500 on ebay, I think that there might be a pretty decent chance to do okay on the break-up of a set like this. Haven't crunched the numbers overall, though.

I think $65k might be the reserve -- if it was anywhere near what I bid on the lot, I would be a happy man!

I couldn't even read the whole description becuase he had caps lock on. Why do PEOPLE POST THINGS THET WRITE IN ALL CAPS?!? It is very distracting!
