Whoa. Not sure I'd consign all those at one time...you probably can't go wrong with the venue as long as they are publicized. I'd do ebay a few at a time unless someone wants to give you zero seller fees for a house auction.

I would personally avoid ebay on those.

Why? Not sure I've seen too many rare baseball postcards on ebay go for less than they should unless they were listed poorly.

I would not worry about consigning them all at one time. A good collection can create a buzz. A few odd postcards is less of a big deal.

Goodwin would be my choice, and all at once. My two cents.

I have.

Also, I don't think think the ebay crowd would appreciate these as much as the auction house crowd in my opinion. Ebay sales seem very week these days for various reasons, I think the added auction house exposure would benefit these greatly.

Also agree, consigning them all at once would create some very nice hobby buzz for them.

Does the auction house crowd not look at eBay?

Some of the big hitters don't have time to wade through the ebay drivel. They mainly purchase from auction houses.
