Once I complete that, I might move forward at least into the mid-1990's and then go back as far as the mid 1960's and see how that goes.

In order to collect all rookie cards from each '80's set, the most cost effective way is to buy complete sets and break them up, I know that already. Here is my question, is it better to sell the remaining 90-95% of the cards as near-complete sets or break up the sets and sell the stars individually? For purposes of this discussion, let's assume that grading and gem-mint cards are not part of the equation.
