Any ideas for selling my collection?

Littletweed

The time has come for me to part ways with my collection. I've had success selling on eBay for a few years, and I'll probably do most of it there. I've never sold anything on consignment with an auction house, I'm guessing the fees will be high like eBay's. So here's some of what I need to sell: 1970 Topps Baseball complete set #12 on the set registry (68% graded, GPA 8.14), 1961 Topps Football complete set #12 on the set registry (53% graded, GPA 7.81). I also have a 1983 Topps football sticker insert set #1 on the registry (100% graded, GPA 9.67) - any ideas on what that set might fetch? Beyond those cards, I have 1000's of ungraded, 100's more graded, some sets and unopened stuff.

What I'm thinking on the 1970 set is to sell off the stars and low pop commons individually, then sell off everything else in lots - group the 9's together, then the 8's. I understand that I'll probably get more if I list them indivdually, I just don't have the time, plus with all the fees - it might not be worth it. Should I look into selling it as a whole through Mastronet? Anyone have any luck selling on Naxcom?

I've even thought of setting up a website and listing what I have, to get around paying all the sellers fees.
My eBay ID is littletweed, my set registry's are also littletweed.

Any thoughts?

I would try selling it offline first to people around here. I would be interested in both.

If Mastro would take it, I think you would be better off selling the 1970 baseball as a complete set.
A lot of the 8's wont even bring grading fees on Ebay...

I have sold some on Naxcom, and have sold very little in the way of registry type of graded cards.
