Selling strategy for large 52 Topps lot

I know this type of question gets thrown around a lot, but this is a lot of 52 Topps.

Hypothetically, imagine that you have about 400 low grade (P-VG) 52 Topps low numbers and you want to maximize sales in about 1 month.

Would you sell them:
a. In one big auction lot
b. In one big "buy it now" lot with best offer
c. "Partial sets" of about 50-100 cards
d. Team lots
e. other?

Realistically, these are $2-$6 cards. I think individual cards would be too much of a hassle. Thanks for opinions.

    if you really want to maximize i would break 1952s up individually and do ebay auctions at high starting auction prices. then whatever doesn't sell combine into one lot.

    i'd either go in team lots or set lots with no duplication

    i agree that probstein might be a good option for something like this
  • Thanks for the answers so far. I've used Probstein for some other things with good results; but I'm not crazy about the way he does these kinds of lots. His last lot of 52s, for example, got this title:

    Lot (15) Assorted 1952 Topps Baseball Mostly VG

    and this description:

    Lot (15) Assorted 1952 Topps Baseball Mostly VG

    and a picture of 8 cards in the lot.

    I think it's worth the extra effort to list the cards individually (especially for a lot of 15).

    I'd go this route as well.
