Collectors will find it and instead of competing bids among several in a major auction, it will be the only game in town on that day.
From other posts, sounds like Al may be one of the few who has it right by asking the simple question.

If you don't want your less scarce cards to be drowned out by better looking versions of the same cards, then don't consign to REA or Heritage (although Heritage has so many auctions, you might get lucky in one of their Sunday auctions).
Just ask around with some of the smaller/medium action houses. They will be more than happy to proudly display your cards in their auctions.
