I am thinking of parting with my treasured set. Any ideas from the registry experts on the best way to sell it if I decide to let it go? I know there's auction services such as Mastro and Memory Lane for example. Or is ebay better way to go? Any help from someone who has done this before is welcome. The set is all PSA 8 with the exception of Max McGee who is a PSA 7. Currently listed on the registry under Al and Sandy's Cards.

Auctions houses take a greater percentage than ebay I believe. However, people use them all the time. So I don't know.
Im not sure in your case I'd probably shoot for the auction house with a 60 set. I sold a nice lot 2 yrs ago but thats when the griddle was hot. Had a lot that came from wax pulled a ringo in a 9 and a few others in 9. The boys were paying me well in access of double smr even for the 8's. With the remainder going to ebay and was lucky to get smr.
Find a # in your head maybe contact the registry guys get some offers and start computing or wait for ebay to have a free listing day which they should. March they usually run a free fixed price put a reasonable price and have at it. What you dont want to do is list something normal with an extra high reserve then be back to square one of mercy of an ebay auction.
I do know that completed sets usually do very well in football at the auction houses. If you can barter someone down to 12.5 % or better in my mind would be the way to go. Breaking it up with listing fees, paypal and so on can eat up your profit. If you did go to ebay and arent a seller at that point cosign it with maybe andy madec or bbexchange. They tend to get more looks with the guys with bigger pockets where you might turn a head or two.
Just my 2 cents

I have the complete 1960 Packers in PSA 8 and I built about 30% of this set before I sold but the Packers.
Many common 8's sell in the $15-18 range wich is just below SMR. Brown and Unitas usually go for about %20 more than SMR.
So it balances out on a complete set. I think $3000-$3600 is reasonable for this set.
Loves me some shiny!
SMR for a complete PSA 8 1960 FB set is $3457 from a Summer 04 SMR.
