Poll: Which auction house would you go with for this estate lot?

[drc]

The ones that got lots of votes are good, but they WILL bundle some of the lots together. Count on it. I do see see some items that I think are worthy as single item lots-- if in good condition, the Deans ball and MacArthur program for sure, perhaps the Frick programs. I'm not sure of the rarity/value of some of the individual memorabilia item.

Lelands does not get TPAs for their autographs (they're old school), but they're well known and respected in the autograph field and that would not be a value or authentication issue.

Legendary and Huggins and Scott do frequent auctions.

Bundling isn't an issue if you a good price for the lot. Sure there can be 'bulk discounts' but some group lots in the big auctions get good price per item anyway. If they bundle together autographed WS programs signed by Ford Frick and General McArthur etc, the lot will probably get a good price even though (or perhaps because of) they come in one lot. My friend bids on real expensive group lots in the big auctions and sometimes comment that the prices go up to or over fair market value per item.

Ask they auction how they would bundle the lots, which ones would be single,-- though knowing they might not be able to give you a final answer until they see them in person, assess condition etc.

I have my pick, but left it in my anonymous vote, as I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But there are a number of auction houses there I think are good, including the three I mentioned.
