Julieor Prestigecollectibles, because I KNOW those people, but I'd never bid in an REA auction before.
And I'm NOT asking for before-the-cheeck service from any of the people I mentioned!
Actually, Gary Engel (Prestige Collectibles, Japanese cards) once sold a card for me (with no consignor's fee), and as soon as he had a buyer, advanced me the money--but that was obviouly the act of a friend, not an auction house or a seller.
And Terry Knouse sometimes sends cards out on spec, and if you like them, you send him the dough, and if you don't you return the card..
