Need Help/Advice re: Auction House Consignments

First, thanks for anyone who can contribute to this.
I have several very nice cards that I think I MIGHT be better off consigning through an Auction House than I would do selling it myself on Ebay. Here's what I'm considering selling that way (all fresh to the market):

-1952 Bowman Mantle PSA 7
-1933 Goudey common PSA 8
-1934 Goudey common PSA 8
-T206 Bobby Wallace PSA 7
-T206 Chappelle (common) PSA 7
-1955 Topps UnPerforated Ted Williams Double Header SGC 7 (might resubmit for 7.5+)
-maybe my n28 A&G Cap Anson, but it's only a PSA 3 (though w/no creases...only corner wear)

My questions:
1. Should I even go w/an auction house (consignment) on these, or just sell on Ebay (I have 200+ fb, 100% positive). Feel free to yes to some, no to others.

2. Which auction house should I go with (considering the cards, best prices fetched, charges, etc)?

Any opinions. A million thanks to all. It's been a while since I've had time to post, but I try to read daily....thanks as always for the info folks.

    unless the Goudey commons are low pop., my suggestion would be an Ebay auction. None of those cards are so rare or in such high grade that I would expect any of them to get a ridiculous premium in an auction format. And with a buyer's and consignment commission to consider, I think Ebay might be better, especially if you have a ton of feedback and market the items well.

    T206s do very, very well on Ebay in PSA 7 and above.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
