After careful thought, I've decided to forgo Ebay and consign an estate lot I've recently acquired with a major auction house.

Only one question remains...which one?

Please help me decide who would likely maximize the value of this lot. Commission is important, but not the be all end all.

In no particular order, I'm mostly concerned with:

1. Effective and accurate descriptions
2. Reputation
3. Provides TPA for signed items
4. Prompt payment after the auction ends
5. Overall success with bidders who pay for the items they win
6. Frequent opportunities to consign throughout the year. I don't have any problem waiting a month or two to submit, but I'd rather not wait a full year for annual auctions like REA, no matter how incredible their listings are.

Here are the items I will be submitting. The programs are the main draw, and as such, should be the focal point when helping me decide who to go through.

Thanks.
