Best way to sell cards- near set/lot or each card separately??

I am thinking about selling off over 100ct of 1955 Topps All-American cards that. There are doubles in the lot, but about 60 different cards, such as having two Hickmans, three Whizzier's, etc, but only one Horseman and one Thorpe of course. The problem is that the condition isn't too hot, all are raw and probably average out at VG. I have all the money cards, except for the Hutson.

Trying to figure out which to go to attempt to break even. Due to being an idiot over the years, I estimate I need to net $8 a card to break even. So the stars should help me with this average, but the fees will kill me either way.

Do you think it's better to sell them as a lot or each card separately?
Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

  • Sell the stars seperately and sell the commons as a lot with maybe a few minor stars mixed in.

    I agree...............perhaps selling any higher grade commons separate, if you have any at all.

    Sell them here with no fees (on the buy, sell, trade board). Put up a list of all 100 with a price you can live with for each and a few scans - you might just get your price.

    On ebay, I agree with the above.
