Any experience with the auction houses?

I'm looking to sell my 1948 Bowman set, fully graded (avg >PSA 7.0) with all the key cards PSA 7 or 8 (including a PSA 8 Musial). Do any of you have experience with the various auctions sites (Memory Lane, Goodwin, etc) or have recommendations on other selling options?

Paging Rube. Rube, come in.

I like Memory Lane and REA.

But, most of the big ones are pretty good.

Whoever you choose, try to negotiate NO seller-fees.

Insist that you get prominent placement in any catalog.

Make sure you can instruct the house to pull your items,
in the event that another same/similar lot is offered.

I really like Mile High. I have bought from them and have had super service. Highly recommended

Almost signed up for Mastro but at the final stage they wanted money to register.

NO WAY

Money to register? Since when?

I've never had an auction house charge a fee to register. I've had some request credit or hobby references, but never had to pay to sign up to pay them again when I win...

I've had nice success with Memory Lane
