Here's an idea for you - if you want to make a large sale all at once, take the 10K box and look through it to find a few good cards. Then advertise it as a box of 10k cards, unsorted, ranging from 1978-1999 (or your best guess on the years) and then mention that you pulled out just a few examples of what is in the box and list those. If you can show a few solid collector cards and tell them you only searched a hundred cards to find the ones you are listing, you might "tease" someone into paying you a pretty penny for the box. Collectors can't resist a treasure box that might contain a few hidden gems.
This is provided you want to part with the whole box. If you want to keep a few collector cards for yourself and make sure you are keeping all the high end cards you might have, then by all means you have to sort through and group your cards somehow, by year, by player, by team, etc. Lot's of collectors like team lots. I'm a sucker for Twins lots when I'm scanning eBay.
