The flip side of this, is that the high grade singles broken up, may or may not exceed the sum of the set intact??? Again, I think this vary from issue to issue.

The other factor is time

often you can make more money by selling things individually but it takes more time vs selling a complete set which is done in one transaction and takes less time
