Selling the set as a whole entity may not be the best way to maximize the potential selling value. Depending on who the prospective buyers are and if the key cards are in true, near-mint condition, the Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Berra, Matthews, Spahn, Robinson (Jackie), Clemente cards might fetch $4,000 by themselves. Several other cards like Snider, Campanella, Ford, are also in demand and would bring in decent prices.
Near mint condition cards of this vintage are actually quite rare since trading cards
of this era were largely purchased by kids 10-15 and normally handled a lot. Few youngsters who collected trading cards in the 1950's realized just how valuable these cards might one day be worth and so most neglected to treat them with special care. Thus there are very few pre 1960 cards in mint/near mint condition. True "near mint" condition means at least 2 sharp corners and
without flaw (good centering, no gum stains, no creases). Many trading cards that are offered for sale as " near mint " are actually " near-mint/excellent" i.e. having 4 tight corners as opposed to sharp corners. Consider that if cards are stored in a box or metal container over the years and are periodically handled, it is unlikely that all 4 corners will remain sharp. Normally, a decently-preserved card will have all 4 corners either tight or sharp. So to possess a card with 2 sharp corners would be a rarity. The serious collector will want assurance that the card(s) in question is "near mint" and not merely "near mint/excellent."
By the way, Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles did not play in the majors in 1957. He came up to Baltimore after the 1959 season after having an outstanding year with the AAA Vancouver Mounties, Baltimore's top farm club in those days.
