I agree that consigning to a big auction house is the best way. The folks can be assured that it's done professionally, with a wide audience and they can all witness the sale. As I tell such folks, the auction house's motive is to get the best prices.

Consigning is the way to go but make sure they know they have agency in the negotiations.

For example, a lot of AH take 20%. That 52 Mantle is going to bring a lot of eyes to the rest of the catalog. I would try to negotiate a 0% fee on that lot in exchange for the eyes.
