It will all come down to : the total number of items in the collection, the commonness or scarcity of the majority of your items, the type of items (checks, photos , letters, checks etc ... ), possibly the era and players/teams that your items encompass , and if your items will bring more as individual lots or some combination of multiple item lots based on a possible common thread. Plus an AH should be able to give you a rough idea of value if you give them a brief inventory , and this will help your consignor's fee. You can negotiate your fee pretty easily , and I have never paid to ship items to an AH.
