Best auction house to use?

[Exhibitman]

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.

I've consigned a few cards with REA, H&S, and have been happy with the results. Most of my consignments go to Al at LOTG and have been extremely happy with the results, plus he's one of the good guys in the hobby along with Steve, Scott, and Lee.
