I agree that "reserve not met" can deter bidders. Reserve practices vary from AH to AH. Some do not disclose reserve not being met until auction end (e.g., Legendary, I believe). Some post the reserve as the next required bid about 10 days before auction end, if reserve has not been met by that time (e.g., Heritage). And some simply note that reserve has not been met (e.g., Goldin, I believe).
My personal opinion is that Heritage has the best approach, but you can look to match your preferred approach with what the AH offers.
Please let us know who you choose. It will be a major event.
