Yi, you should listen. Not all of your photos are fly off the shelves winners. There are many that will sell for very little if at all. Here you have two that many baseball photo collectors would want and you're so eager to sell them. You mentioned that you're trying to get some money to start an auction website. Sell off some of the lesser photos and put these in your inaugural sale. If you only sell the ones that people are clamoring for and are left with ones that no one cares about, your auction will not be very successful.
For the record, when I said put them in an auction, I wasn't talking about an auction on the B/S/T. I meant an advertised auction. The B/S/T is great but only reaches the people that are already members of this board.
Just don't want you to get taken advantage of. How are you even pricing them? Do you have enough experience to put a price on that takes into account the rarity and the market for them?
