T206 HOF portrait's in Sterling Auctions last night

[brianclat11]

Prices seem strong across the board at many of the auctions right now. Considering that, I have a follow up question for you guys. Which auction house would you trust to get the most for your T206 cards? This doesn't necessarily mean the auction house that you like to buy from. Would you offer them up on this site first? I'm not looking to sell right now, but am curious to see what you all think....Thanks!

REA in my opinion. Total class operation, great communication, probably the best catalog, quick payout (just received mine after only 2.5 weeks following auction end), large audience of potential buyers, etc.

Thanks for the response. From a buying perspective, I have found that REA is very good to deal with.

Yes REA, I got great prices for my 4 Cobb’s awhile back.

REA, LOTG and Sterling are all top-notch in my book. I would not hesitate to consign a T206 collection to any of them. FWIW, I think Sterling offers the best opportunity for non-superstar consignments. Lee has mastered selling graded singles.

I think it would depends what exactly you are selling. A group of 50 poor-fair ungraded commons probably would do better using someone like Scott @ Collector's Connection, but a PSA 7 Cobb would probably do better in REA (not that Scott wouldn't work his butt off advertising a card of that magnitude). Of course offering here you have control over the final prices (for good or bad), but that also means you putting in the effort to list, scan, ship, answer questions, etc.

+1. I have very successfully consigned to each of these 3 auction houses. A few days ago, I received a payment check for my consignments in REA's December 5th auction.

Don't you just love it when people start posting cool pics of nice cards. I bet our wives probably see our faces when we're looking at the computer screen and immediately begin to think we're looking at porn.

Pavlov was about a century to early for his studies. Can you imagine the amount of slobber he could have drained from the readers of this forum.

Nice pics, keep'em coming.
