There many good auction houses mentioned and LOTG and REA are very good. Most auction houses mentioned have the exposure to a good following of bidders. Your card being an Iconic card will do very well in any. The big factors is where you will net the most.
In the case that you mentioned
Heritage -5% and PWCC -12.5%. That 7.5% back could be big money on your card.
A PSA 3.5 went for 78K in REA on 6/20/22. (the centering is ok left to right but not top to bottom)
for you that would have netted you an extra $5850 if you got the same sale price.

The key is do you think you will get that much more in the Sale price at Heritage to make up for the difference.

Tough call. Heritage is my preferred choice of those two and they do have a huge base of bidders and huge marketing to support and drive awareness.

The commission # makes it a hard choice for me

regardless

Great Card and Good Luck
