I believe all the long running AHs have the simular lists. Heritage would be the exception as they would have a great cross over list with all the other collectible auctions they run.
Another big thing to think about when consigning to an AH is trust... Trust that they say they will do what they said they would at the time you gave them your consignments. Most AHs now have detailed contracts and are pretty good following thru on their promises. This can not be said 5 years ago or later on some AHs in the business.

As long as everything is transparent things are usually ok. It's when people/companies say one thing and do another, they tend to have issues.
