Thanks for the responses.

I think the biggest concern I had was the cost of authentication. I have seen many authenticated 8x10s of guys like Seaver, Ford, Palmer, etc.. go for as little as $15-$20 which is less than the cost of authentication at JSA. Knowing that, I told my friend that selling as a lot is better because if you put those 40 or so 8x10's and from what I now learned about 60 or so baseballs together it is a beautiful collection. But to get them all authenticated might not even be worth it, which is why I asked if auction houses typically eat the cost for a large collection.

I am working on getting a spreadsheet type list from him so I can see exactly what he has.

Thanks for the input, keep it coming.
