In my experience, you do not pay sales tax (or use tax) if you are not in a state where the auction has a physical presence.

For Heritage you have to pay sales tax in 3 states IIRC -- Texas, Florida, and I forget. Something north of the Mason-Dixon line I believe. Not my most helpful post, but just the best my memory can do these days.

I am an accountant and if the auction house does not have what is known as a physical or business nexus in a particular state whereby they have to charge you sales tax, you as the buyer are generally required to still pay the applicable tax, except it is then referred to as a "use" tax. If you look up the laws in pretty much every state, it is not known as just a "sales" tax, it is mostly listed and known as "sales & use" taxes. The fact that the state doesn't come knocking on your door to collect the "use" tax doesn't mean you technically don't owe it.

It normally doesn't matter what it is that you purchase, or who it is you purchase it from. In a state that has sales & use taxes, if you purchase anything that would normally be subject to sales tax if the seller was required to collect it, but they don't, you as the buyer would then technically be required to voluntarily pay the use tax to your state yourself. And that is not just for individuals, it includes companies and businesses also.

You might be able to save the shipping charge by asking the auction house to allow you to pick up your winning at a show that will soon be taking place, such as the upcoming National at Chicago. I have been able to do this several times in the past, and in fact, I'll be picking up a card in Chicago that I won in the recent Goodwin auction.
