I would not use PWCC for this. They get lots of card eyeballs, but autograph collectors don't really follow them.

Honesty, I wouldn't use any auction house for this.

My advice - once you've got the authentication from PSA, you should set a number you'd be happy with and try to sell it here on the board. That's a ZERO cost to you proposition.

I think the estimated values people have given you are actually spot on, an auction house can't get you any better than that and not all of them are going to offer you a zero consignors fee. Figure the auction house has to get AT LEAST 10% more out of it than you can, but once you have the sticker and letter from PSA, you've got everything you need.

I agree 100% with the last post. What does it hurt to try and sell here first at 0 cost and quickest turn around time? If you don't get your #, then you can try another avenue. I'm sure many members here would love a chance at this ball given the provenance.
Good luck and congratulations!
