Wouldn't it be great if you could sell the whole dam thing in one transaction? Unfortunately it never works that way. I've watched other collectors try to do this only to succumb to the pressure of selling them individually.
The result is the finest coins are cherry picked leaving you with the unattractive ones. And if you try to sell the entire set, you will be lucky to get grey sheet prices.
In the end, the problem with 70/70's is that all you really have is a bunch of ungraded coins which aren't as marketable as slabbed coins. And if you purchased them raw from dealers, chances are, a good portion of them have problems or were overgraded. Unfortunately, You will most likely get hosed on the transaction no matter which path you take.

 Individually is the only way to go if you want to maximize the amount of $'s. |

Individually, a pain, but worth the time - you will do so much better. I went through it, bet a lot on here have as well

This one is still on eBay and it is complete. The quality is above average, but its hard for most investors to swallow purchasing a ungraded collection, even with 3rd party graded labels, who's to say this haven't been switch at some point in time. |

Thanks

If it takes an hour each to sell 76 coins, or an hour to sell the whole thing, and your time is worth $100/hr, you're out $7500. I think they call it "opportunity cost" or something. |

What's there? Honestly there are situations where it's not worth your time and effort to part out a common date common grade album. Generally individually is worth more, but what is your effort worth and how fast do you want to sell, it all depends what is in there.
