James, but most auction houses charge around 20% BP, so the net to the consignor is 20% less than the realized price. Therefore in essence, the BP + seller's commission are the fees that the auction houses charge. On the flip side, PWCC charges 12% fee (this includes paypal) for graded cards that sell between $1-2K. (Their complete consignment rates are here:
