If it is commonplace stuff, esp. graded cards, the BST here or eBay is the best way to sell it. I've had some AHs reject my recent consignment efforts and have readily sold the items on eBay at better than the net with the AHs would have been.
Except in rare cases, in the sports field if an AH wants to charge a commission and BP, I wouldn't consign to them because there are plenty who don't charge a commission. In other fields, though, you may not be able to negotiate even over a great item. I was amazed that I wasn't able to get rid of the commission with an entertainment memorabilia AH, even with a strong consignment. They simply refused to discuss it. Rather than handing them nearly 40% I opted to sell the items myself. If that is a failure I can always go back there.
