Contemplating exiting the hobby; looking for opinions on the best way to liquidate

Good afternoon everyone; I've been thinking about selling all my cards and exiting the hobby.
I'm looking for options on the best way to go about selling my inventory. It includes multi-sport unopened of varying years (80s mostly, and almost all BBCE), graded cards of all sports, and modern ungraded auto/patch cards of mainly HOF or HOF-level players. Also have a complete Topps and Bowman sealed Tiffany set run.
I'm not super interested in selling the items indivually either here or on eBay as I lack the time to list, sell, and ship the items in a timely fashion.
Basically, I'm looking for the easiest way to get the most money with the least amount of hassle. Feel free to post your suggestions here or send me a PM. Thanks in advance for any advice.

is Probstein accepting consignments?

YES, ACTIVELY!!
Additionally, I truly do enjoy collecting. This was a very difficult decision based on life events. I would appreciate sincere advise while keeping the snarkiness to a minimum.
Sorry to hear of being forced to sell. Gotta do what you gotta do. Take heart that once things resolve, you can always collect again, when able. Seems like perhaps Probstein or PWCC would be your easiest way forward. Depends on your holdings in total -- doesn't hurt to email them both. Heritage is great for any kind of truly top-end material, but I think for an accumulation of collectibles, ebay and PWCC or Probstein would be your best bet. Good luck.
Thanks, this is what I was looking for. My highest priced single item would be in the very low four figures, so Heritage probably won't work. I'll contact PWCC and Probstein and see how it goes.
If unsatisfactory, try PWCC.
PWCC tends to fetch more if you have nice looking stuff but you probably wouldn't see payment for what could be up to two months or more from the time you send out.
Give BBCE a call.

I didn't know BBCE bought singles. Never though of that. Are they consignors or do they buy then sell, or both?
The way I'd like to do it is just send everything to one place, it sells at or around the same time, then get one payment. I'd prefer that everything is wrapped up within a few months. I'd rather not have a few items out for sale for months then have small payments trickle in.
I don't have any experience with consignment and this is in now way an accusation, but has anyone ever had an experience where the send an item for consignment, the item sells, and you don't get paid? Or you were supposed to get $X and you get less than $X?

I have consigned with pwcc and was very happy with the results. Sorry to hear you are getting out of the hobby.
does Pwcc do raw non high end cards ? like commons etc

I think you need send Brent an email to see if they will accept it, however I think the fee structure would make it too expensive due to the min fee.
