Advice on Best Way to Break Up Sets for Sale

I don't normally do this but I recently purchased two sets at auction of 2004 and 2005 Topps Heritage. I didn't realize how extensive the collection was when I bid because the descriptions weren't as clear and pictures didn't show everything. After sorting through I have the following:

2004 Heritage
- Complete set 1-475
- Complete variations and old logos
- Complete set of chrome (mix of regular and refractor, will probably grade some and rest go to COMC since they are a mix)
- Complete Flashbacks set
- Complete New Age Performers set
- Complete Then & Now set
- Clubhouse Collections near complete set (missing only Group A except for Mays)
- Grandstand Glory near complete set (only missing Mays /55)

2005 Heritage
- Complete set 1-475 (seems to be mixed backs of gray and white)
- Complete variations set
- About 30 chromes, which will likely go to COMC outside of some graded
- Complete Flashbacks set
- Complete New Age Performers set
- Complete Clubhouse Collection Relics set
- Complete Flashback Seat Relics set

There were also some other relic cards and autos but those are easier to move.

I am not trying to solicit sales, I just don't normally do sets. What is needed to be considered a master set? What would be the best way to lot these for sale?

I think master set is tricky because some might say a master set is one thing and some might say something different. I think it depends on what your goal is with the sets—profit in a hurry, most profit or fastest to move it all.
