The only downside to putting it up for auction is the lack of control you have. Unless you plan on being a JC, you'll have to live with the result. You may want to keep trying for the best offer as the sale of the card means a lot to you.
True. However, a couple of auction houses have stated reserves which does stifle bidding but gives a certain amount of control to the consignor.
