Believe they definitely get higher prices on many cards. Well run top notch AH,
and to many bidders it’s an honor to win something with them. Validation they are playing in the big leagues.

Enter the dreaded extended bidding. The card ended up selling for $1400. I stuck to my $1250. At $1400, with taxes, buyer's premium, shipping, $1850. I just wasn't willing to pay that much


I wonder if REA auctions in general realize higher prices for cards, just because as a well known and advertised auction house, it gets more foot traffic and consequently more competition as opposed to some smaller auctions, i.e., Sterling.
