Default To sell or not to sell? Also asking rookie questions

I'm totally new to buying and selling cards beyond Ebay and the good ole days (1990s).

2 quick questions:

1) I think it is a great market to sell 1950s-60s HOF cards. Am I a fool to sell my 1951 bowman mantle and mays? I feel like it might keep going up or potentially roll back. So seems like a time to sell since its riding high. In fact , im selling everything from that era through a the best auction house I could find.

2) how do you protect yourself during the handoff to the auction house? I've never handed thousands in cards over to someone. I know he's going to cut me a check for some of the value, but still feels weird to do this as I haven't dealt w auction houses before on the selling side. Please advise what I should look for in terms of paperwork or other instruments to protect myself. The guy I'm dealing with acquires cards like the wags , so not exactly afraid for my cards which are worth a fraction of that. But still wondering what I should do as this is big money for me.
