Which auction house?

[Mike Eisenbath]

I have a sizable collection that includes lots of vintage, including maybe 750 slabbed cards, and quite a few vintage Cardinals World Series programs and scorecards. I don't plan to ever sell so don't care much about resale value, but ... I figure if I pass away, my family would get the best return for least effort via working with an auction house.

So ... polling the audience...which AH should I recommend to my wife and kids?

Thank you!

REA

All the way!

It entirely depends on the value of the items you're looking to sell. Most of the bigger auction houses won't take cards that are worth less than $500-$1000 or so. If you have some big-ticket vintage items, REA or Love of the Game are great choices. If they're less expensive cards, you could look into some of the smaller auction houses that advertise here, or you could consign with Greg Morris or PWCC. All are good options.

I would definitely avoid Heritage though. They're horrible to deal with. And Goldin is incompetent.

The higher end graded vintage slabbed cards or Set's/Partials I would give to REA.

If you are looking for a straight shooter who has unquestioned integrity and will be honest and respectful of what your family wants to do, you couldn’t possibly find a better person than Al at LOTG.

In addition to those AHs already mentioned, for breaking down individual cards and smaller groups, Sterling is terrific! Lee is of the highest integrity in my dealings with him...
