REA is great. Very professional. LOTG is great too. Al really cares and he will take great care with your consignment, esp. if you are a 'warm' referral from N54 members. I personally would not go with Heritage. Nothing wrong there, just a behemoth that is short on personal touches and (in my experience) pays out your proceeds on the last day of the stated period. When I went with them it was 45 days after the close and I got paid that day. REA and LOTG pay a lot faster.

Any house will get your card graded for you and (usually) pass on the cost. I recently sold some things with REA and they got a few cards graded (with my blessing) and it cost me the basic grading fee. I didn't have to pack them, ship them, fill out forms, none of that administrative hassle. LOTG had to get some photos authenticated for me; also did not have to lift a finger. I would never, ever get a raw card I want to consign graded again. Consign it raw and let the house do the work. It's cheaper and frictionless.
