For a collection with that kind of value - no consignment fee to you and as stated the ability to negotiate a piece of the BP back as well as some promotion specifics.

From a traffic standpoint I would think Heritage or REA are your best bets. Possibly, Goldin or Memory lane as the runner ups (although if memory serves me, memory lane has done a bunch of the set or singles auctions)

Only way to protect yourself which has upsides and down is to auction with reserve (If the item doesn't meet reserve you pay no fees - already negotiated as no consignment fee) - problem is the reserved auctions sometimes dissuade bidders. I would NOT run both sets at the same time - 2 consecutive auctions possibly - perhaps try the first with no reserve offered as a set and individual lots (as suggested) with the higher total winning out. Could possibly even use the second set as the carrot on the stick to be consigned only if the 1st set meets your expectations.

I saw you offered a bunch of other items on the BST - incredible collection Dave - appreciate seeing all the great cards! Do you stick with exclusively prewar or do post war as well?
